The Walker House Gardens
1 Sep, 12 / 
The raised garden beds that Randy Larson designed are overflowing with lettuce, pole beans (some are climbing to the second floor deck), green peppers, scallions, beets, carrots, and tomatoes. It's a blessing that the gardens survived the record-breaking heat waves we had this summer. We prayed daily for the farmers who lost some of their crops to the drought, and we thanked God daily for the privilege of being able to walk outside the front door of the Walker House and gather fresh vegetables for our meals. I'm especially thankful for the chocolate tomatoes that Randy planted. They have a brownish tint to them, and they have a delicious sweet taste…but there's no hint of chocolate.
The squirrels that live in the black walnut trees in front of the building are busy burying some of the walnuts in the soil around the garden beds. I guess Autumn is on its way.
