This week's donation:
313 lbs to the Food Pantry: 264 lbs sweet taters, 12 lbs peas, 49 lbs (2 bu ea) turnip & collard greens.
Note: 264 lbs / 64 linear feet - 4 lbs sweet taters per linear foot.

Year-to-date total donation:
1,608 + this week's 313 = 1,924 lbs YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Second of three rows of sweet taters dug last Monday by Carl and Susan & Ellen Engelbrecht. Carl harvested the peas and greens and took all to the Food Pantry.

Susanne Angelillo and some students from the ICS school will dig the remaining row of sweet taters Monday Oct 18 at 845am.

Jeff and Jimmy removed the piles of dried up plants to the compost pile.

Saturday Oct 30 at 9am we will plant garlic. Dave Fitzgerald is in charge. More than 26 varieties so far.
There is no hairy vetch seed available locally for a winter cover crop.

We have some spring bulbs to plant in the inside of plots 3 and 6 and can use more bulb donations. These will be interplanted with summer flowers in late spring.

Please send your ideas, concerns, questions, email list changes, etc to me.

Thanks,
Carl Wayne Hardeman
