Monday May 7 2012 Les and Peggy Risner picked 8 lbs of beautiful sweetpeas and took to Page Robbins.
Tuesday May 8 Jimmy mowed and edged - much needed thankless job but he does it so well.
Carl ferociously attacked with a garden hoe every pigweed plant he could find and relieved them of their stalks. And did a lot of hoeing and hand weeded and replanted the purplehull peas in the raised beds.
Thursday Patree and Carl picked 5 lbs Swiss chard and 3 lbs of sweetpeas which she took to Page Robbins, and we picked 12 lbs cabbages and 49 lbs onyons and 37 lbs of turnips and greens which Carl took to the Food Pantry.
We should have corn and squarsh ready to pick next week.
Next Monday, Lord willing, we will harvest all the remaining turnips and greens, Korean turnips, and Korean leaf cabbages, and onyuns for Tuesday delivery (Evie????) to the Memphis Food Bank, and plant a few aigplaints, maters, cannalopes, and Jalopyno peppers.
We should be able to get our first zinnia cut flowers next week. Connie and Laura are working hard to make all this happen.
The maters graciously and generously donated by the good people of Hall's Feed and Seed in Collierville and peppers graciously and generously donated by Les Brannum of Bonnie Farms.
We have decided the aspergrass bed could be put to better use as clients at the Food Pantry don't eat them, so Jim Holland will be digging up and taking them. He is pastor of St Patrick's.
1,202 lbs YTD 2012 + 8 lbs Monday and 106 today = 1,316 lbs total for 2012
Aint God good!!!
"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up" (Galatians 6:9).
