Jimmy and I picked cabbages, carrots, beets, cauliflower, broccoli, kale, and chard and along with the 28 lbs of onions picked on Monday took all 114 lbs to the Food Pantry this morning.
We also planted 11 more pepper plants and 2 Mortgage Lifter mater plants.
I have 200 sweet taters to plant this weekend.
We need 50-60 bags of grass clippings to mulch the rest of the garden.
We need to put the cages from the storage area over the tomato plants.
We picked 170 lbs of garlic. Some were huge. Still 1/3 to go as well and 2/3 of the carrots and 1/2 the cabbages. The garlic are drying in Dave Fitzgerld's garage. He must have a very tolerant wife. I have not added the garlic into our YTD total yet.

The Collierville Victory Garden and Butterfly Haven is committed to the Memphis Area Master Gardeners' mission to pass on the joy of gardening and UT Extension horticultural knowledge. Through the generosity of the Collierville Christian Church and MAMG, this Plant-A-Row for the Hungry (PAR) garden donates its vegetables to the Collierville Food Pantry, Resurrection Catholic School and Fayette County Project Outreach and its flowers to Page Robbins and Habitat for Humanity.
