A great time was had by all at our 2nd Annual Harvest Celebration. Thanks to all the New Eden Gardeners  for all the  veggies entered into our produce competition. We also had a lovely eggplant addition from our next door gardening buddy Margaret Albrecht. After the judges Russ Barry  from the Greater Newburyport CSA, Tory Dolben,  and Jill Regensburg deliberated on our garden produce, I am happy to report all that entered were winners- thanks to the creation of a few extra categories!  Some of the winners where ; Amy for best beans, Adam for hottest peppers, Vanessa for lovely radish, Gillian for most glorious gourd, and Erin won for the most throwable squash!
Thanks to gardeners Jane and Barbara for amazing soups, Chuck and Christine for grill food and all the gardeners who brought baked goods. Thank you to for all the helped during the celebration to make it a success from Cindy taking photos, to Will giving a lecture on his bees, to Bill grilling food and Sandy helping with parking (to name just a few). It was great to have Charlotte Dion founder of the Northshore Permaculture Group give a demo on seed saving and food preserver extraordinaire Tory Dolben share her cannining and pickling tips. Also thanks to Dorothy for her wonderful butterfly and benificial insect lecture.
The gardens really looked great and special thanks to Mesh for tidying up and sweetening the compost pile with straw. Many people  who walked through our garden open house, remarked to me how beautiful the veggie gardens were, especially for this time of year. Just wait till next year!
