Victory Garden status Friday July 20, 2012
Another wonderful week in the Victory Garden. We are so blessed.
Thursday July 19 I picked 42 lbs of peas and maters and eggplants and jolly penyo peppers. I went to the FP and saw Bellevue Baptist had dropped off more produce than the FP could use, so I left the peas and took the other produce to two duplexes on South Street.
Friday July 20 I picked 16 lbs peas and 5 lbs maters and took to Mrs Johnson 202 South Street.
Chris Gang of the CA, AKA the Daily Wiper, visited the garden and interviewed moi and Jimmy and Jeff. Sposed to have professional photographer from the CA early Monday morning and then be in the CA garden section next Friday, July 27, when me and Mimi and daughter and 3 granddarlings will be soaking in the sun and sand in the Phoenix V condo Orange Beach AL, AKA LA, Lower Alabama. You can find me on the balcony munching Cajun style biled peanuts and rereading the Foxfire books in case I ever need to kill a hog (again) or make some butter or saurkraut. It cant hurt to know that.
2,659 lbs YTD + 42 + 21 = 2,722 lbs new YTD!
Plan to pick peas and maters and eggplants Monday 430pm in the afternoon, if it ain't storming and it is less than 95 degrees.
Laura Ruth and Connie Bogema are lovingly tending the zinnia beds and taking cut flowers to Baptist Trinity Hospice, Dove Rehab, Page Robbins, the VA Hospital, and others.
We now have a leveret, at least one, but I see no damage and it was munching on grass.
Sumbuddy else gotta harvest next Thursday morning and weigh it and take to the Food Pantry as I will be LA. LET ME KNOW!!!!!!!
Mrs Doris Harper 180 South Main is elderly and can no longer pick her figs and needs someone to pick them for her. Need a ten foot ladder. She only has one tree. 853-4209
Me and SIL Scotty Shive tilled the CHS front flower bed.
Make sure you visit the Bobby Lanier Farm on the northeast corner of the Gtown Elementary School propity. I will be doing some sessions there and they need more for Meet-The-Farmer series. This farm is definitely worth the drive!
Aint God good!
