The Harvest Begins
Written By: Mary Palmer Dargan | Issue: 2018/08 - August
August is a lazy month that differs from June’s hustle and bustle or the crush of family entertainment in July. In the garden world, we begin to savor the bounty of the garden as plants ripen and the harvest begins.
At 10:00 A.M. August 2, let the night light shine! Our favorite lighting guru, Chris Wakefield, comes to shine a little love-light on our gardens. This is the place to be to see the most innovative, beautiful and long-lasting lighting in the country. I kid you not, Chris Wakefield’s The OutDoor Lights is spectacular. Need special ambience for a nighttime stroll, a wedding, parties…or understated security? I could not live without my outdoor lights by Chris. You’re invited to come see his newest works of art in lighting.
Pickle tune-ups anyone?
On August 10, Start your Fall Garden #1. But first, let’s tune up our Pickling! It’s awesome to think about fall plantings while we are harvesting our summer goodies, and cleaning up the garden to ready it for winter plants. Join us at Dovecote to share the time-honored craft and try your hand at pickles. A jar of to each participant! There’s a small fee.
Preserves technique tune-ups anyone?
On August 17, Start your Fall Garden #2. But first, shall we tune up our preserve techniques – last year, it was plum with lemon! Come to Dovecote to watch the time-honored craft and make your own preserves. There’s a yummy jar of fruit to each participant! A small fee is asked.
We’ll hold a Cast Iron Cooking Demonstration Luncheon on August 31. This is our Season finale! It’s really an elaborate affair – tablecloths, yummy homemade wine, striped salad, and cast iron cooking at its most ambitious…we totally sold out last year.
