While carefully pinching off basil leaves, Alivia recalled from class that ladybugs help to control aphids in the garden.
A Pingry pupil picked a pretty perfect purple pepper!

Mrs. Gibson (and some hungry chipmunks) have been sharing the bounty of the garden. It is fun to see the eggplant, peppers, cucumbers, pumpkins, and melons ripening in the combination of August sun and rain. As a taste tester, Mrs. Gibson can report that the few ears of corn harvested before the "critturs" gobbled them up were exceptionally sweet and tender. The purple peppers were a little bitter but interesting in an omelette and the cucumbers were delicious in a Pingry garden salad!
