Tomato plants for Food Bank clients

More varieties

Here are some more varieties of vegetables we've added to the garden.
Cauliflower - Snow Crown
Cabbage - Winner

Also, from Stephanie -
Dave, Derrick, Stephanie took another 30 potted tomatoes to the foodbank this morning.   There are 36 plants left to bring next week to adult clients, and then we will bring the 40 for the young chefs program at the beginning of July.

Contributed by Stephanie - On June 14, 30 tomato plants were delivered to the Lethbridge Interfaith Food Bank along with fertilizer and instructions.  Foodbank coordinator Teresa gave Ray, Lorna and Steph the tour of their new facilities.  They were very happy to receive plants and gave them to clients right away.  They even got pics of clients with plants. We’ll deliver another 30 next Monday.  They will be ready for more.

Also, on June 14, Parthiba and Karen planted cauliflower and cabbage in the garden.  These were the plants left over from the Lethbridge Horticultural Society sale that were donated to the garden.

Garden is looking pretty good.  It is almost full.  More lettuce to be planted, and perhaps more peas.  Everything is still fairly small, and some things are a bit sad due to lack of heat, but hopefully this will change.  Radish, carrots and beets up.  The eggplant is looking great.  Peppers, tomatoes, okra (1.5 rows) all Ok.  Okra going thru a bit of transplant shock.  

Ray set up the solar panel for the electric fence but we might have to change it out as it's not working right.

Parthiba says there are still marigolds to be planted too so they may call on others to help.

Garden update

Tomatoes, peppers, eggplants and okra seedlings have been transplanted to the garden. Peas have been seeded. The first load of potted tomato plants is heading to the Food Bank on Tuesday (if you can help out with delivery, contact Stephanie). If you have extra vegetable seedlings from your home garden, let Parthiba know and they can be transplanted to the Food Bank Garden. We're also still looking for raspberries, or other fruit bush, donations.
