Stopping by the Community Garden

I had to share these two sweeties with you! We went by the community garden at the elementary school this morning, and the boys had fun running down the sidewalks and through the garden rows. The weeds are out of control and the okra stalky and inedible, which is the prime reason a “Community Garden” needs more than one person tending to it. Lesson learned. I met the school’s landscaper who suggested I lay out newspapers on the paths next year to keep out the weeds.There wasn’t much ready to pick today. I went by earlier in the week and gave a bag full of squash and peppers to a neighbor watching me from across the street. As time goes by, I think it would be excellent if the food picked never made it to the Food Shuttle but instead went to the neighborhood that needs it just as much… and it would be even cooler if the neighborhood took part in the growing!

Happy weekend friends!
