Another wonderful week in the Victory Garden!!!
Wednesday afternoon Sept. 26 Patree Ruggieri, Leah Mire and her son Anthony, Mary Aaron and I picked 65 lbs of turnip greens, 2 lbs jalapeno peppers, 3 lbs egg plants, 9 lbs mustard greens, and 19 lbs sweet taters. I took half the greens and green maters (from Monday) to Mrs Goodman and Mrs Ferguson on Harris CV and the most of the rest of this weeks harvest to the Collierville Food Pantry. I only took half the sweet taters since the Food Pantry can only use so much at one time - will take rest next Thursday. We also watered plots 3 and 6 where the new seeds are. Anthony worked real hard and did an amazingly good job. He's a natural! We want him to come back soon!
We also cleaned out some of the pea and sweet tater vines from plot 1. Finishing digging the sweet taters, removing the last mater vines, and cleaning out plot 1 are our objectives for Monday.
Connie took big bunch of zinnias to Page Robbins on Tuesday. Town is supposed to clean out and till both beds for us to plant kale for the winter. Needs done ASAP.
3,671 + 65 + 2 + 3 + 9 + 19 = 3,769 year to date lbs!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
We will be back on normal schedule next week which is 430-600pm both Monday and Wednesday afternoons. There is plenty of work needs done if some of you want to pick another day/time and me meet you there.
Our finances: I doubled counted one check for $100 (it was sent to the MG office who counted it also) so our total is: $689.39 - 151.59 expenses for supplies I filed for Sept. 26 = balance $537.80. Most of the spending we have left this year is for fertilizer and landscape fabric for the garlic. Sure would be nice to be able to afford turning plot 1 into all raised beds like plot 4. Cost about $700 for plot 4. Have to factor in filling the beds with good soil.
Aint God good!!!
