Victory Garden status May 22, 2012

From In Sung Saturday May 19:
"Woooo!
Korean Radishs 1 bag :  55 Lbs
Korean Cabbages 4 bags :  180 Lbs
Totals : 235 Lbs."

I agree!  WOOOOO!

Monday Dave Fitzgerald and I pulled most of the rest of the garlic. We will post a separate blog on that. We don't include that weight in our PAR totals since we will sell some and give that money to the Food Pantry. Last year we had 230 pounds and wound up selling a little over $200 worth with that money given to Page Robbins. We have a lot more garlic this year. This year we volunteers have first choice in taking some of the garlic in exchange for a small gift to the Food Pantry.

Also Monday Dave, his sons Aiden and Connor, and I pulled a few ears of corn. I picked 15 pounds of squarsh and cucumbumbers and took to an elderly couple on Sunflower south of the tracks. And I hoed the pea patches.

We will continue working on Mondays 430-630.

We need to clean out plot 6 where the garlic was and plant cantaloupes.

We will harvest squarsh and cucumbers and sweet corn Monday and do any necessary weeding.

Note: Ever corn ear we have picked has been completely filled out and perfect kernels and no bug damage!

Taters in plot 1 are almost ready to dig. When we dig them and dig up the asparagus, we will plant sweet taters there. Not sure what we will plant where the corn is when we finish with it in a couple of weeks.

Ideas? More peas?

1,462 lbs YTD + 235 lbs Saturday + 15 lbs today = 1,712 lbs total for 2012.

Aint God good!!!
