On the 14th of July, we all convoyed to the home and garden of neighbors Sue and Greg Davis in nearby Chattaroy. Sue guided us through stone and concrete raised beds, apple trees, and manicured lawns. Sue's garden crops were amazingly green, vibrant, and HUGE - some of those squash plants looked at us hungrily ("feed me, Seymour!") as we walked and talked. Greg said he hand mows all the open lawns, and the pathways between the rock raised beds, while Sue said she feeds the grass clippings right back to the plants.
The Davis' provided us with a tasty raspberry dessert, and once again, club member Barbara Midtbo handed out free potted plants from the back of her car, to everyone within her grabbing distance - you would think one of the Drug Enforcement Agency's drones would have picked up her (legal) activities by now...
Next month (August) we will tour one final garden for the season (historically, September tours were just too dark, due to early sunsets), so be sure to check back here for details.
