Hi Erich,
We joined Katy and Sharon to clear out Paul and other things.
We did the following:
Emptied both rain barrels. I took the hoses off and put them in the bench and turned the barrels upside down so that they don't fill with rain/snow and freeze.
Removed the netting from Paul, folded and rolled the two sections up, they are now snuggly encased in two brown paper grocery bags in the bench so that they won't snag on everything. There should also be a box of landscape pins and twist ties from Paul. Please check, the box may have been put away opened.
Harvested: tomatillos, peppers, tomatoes, basil, carrots.
We emptied all but the grow box. Katy says that she empties hers and then cleans all the parts and then puts it away. We ran out of time to do that today. We did empty the other pepper pots and put them on the stack of pots in the main garden.
We removed and put into the city compost bin the following: tomatillo plants, tomato plants, pepper plants and marigolds.
The green watering cans that were by the flowery rain barrel were put back in the main garden as well as the tomato cages from Paul. I left the tomatillo cages in Luke.
Also the posts for Paul were left in Paul (no reason to keep taking them out as you mentioned).
We harvested a little over 7 lbs of tomatoes, many are green so I have made copies of a couple of recipes for green tomatoes as well as a tip for how to get them to ripen at home. We will drop this off with the tomatoes tomorrow morning. I'll be sure to let Cheryl, Sandy or someone from the office know they are there incase they want to make more copies.
We also harvested 15 lbs of carrots. Their size ranged from very small to 2-3 times the size of a "baby carrot". I believe that we planted a kind of smaller carrot to begin with.
I have left over brown paper lunch bags from the potato harvest, so I'll be bagging up the carrots tonight to make it easier for the parents to grab and go.
Now that we have the complete harvest Patrick will be tabulating the results soon.
We did not have time to take down the bean structure from Luke and are hoping to get to that next week.
