November will be a busy month. We are blessed with worlds of greens ready to pick. See November works schedule below. We also have been blessed recently with new volunteers and the good work Andrew and the youth group from Collierville Christian Church have done. Hall's Feed Store donated chive, basil, and Savoy cabbage plants. Cyndi dropped off a large donation of bags of leaves and grass clippings.
Victory Garden status 10-24-2011
YTD 2,009 lbs + 110 + 140 lbs this week = 2,259 lbs!!!!
A big beautiful week. PIX
Monday Oct 17 thirteen volunteers (angels) picked and trimmed 110 pounds of greens which Evelyn and Leon Talada took to MIFA.
Friday Oct 21 Andrew picked and took to MIFA all of the remaining Chinese lettuce 140 pounds.
Monday Oct 24 I mulched where the lettuce was and moved the sweet tater vines from the center aisle to behind the garden. They need taken to the dumpster.
Work Schedule for November:
Following are the scheduled work days thru November for the Victory Garden:
We will harvest Mondays 4-5:30PM for MIFA and Wednesdays 4-5:30PM for Collierville Food Pantry.
Wednesday November 16 is a big day as it is the last day to pick greens for the Food Pantry as they are closed the next week. We need a dozen or more volunteer angels.
We also will pick whatever greens are left (except rutabagas) Saturday November 19 8am for an inner city Memphis Thanksgiving food basket program.
Saturday November 26 we will plant garlic. Could use at least 6 to 8 people. Not sure of the time yet.
Also as soon as town tills the zinnia bed on Peterson Lake, we need to plant the Savoy cabbage sets donated by Halls Feed Store.
Aint God good!
