June updates

Wow. What a difference a week makes. In the last week, with a bit of sunshine, our garden has exploded! Our veggies have grown. And so have the weeds. We harvested our first lettuce and swiss chard today. Three Rubber Maid tubs full.

In the past couple weeks, we've also planted donated raspberries and strawberries. (Thank you to Cheryl and Jake for donating these.)

We've planted out our tomatoes and marigolds and finished seeding beans. We've seeded more lettuce as well (Odyssey mix). (Thanks to the social committee and Tom for tomato plant donations.)

We've also potted up our tomatoes and delivered our lettuce growing kits. These will allow Food Bank clients to experience the thrill of growing their own food.
