In Sung, Sue Butler, Twila Christian, Arlene Grahek, and I picked 92 lbs cabbiges, 2 lbs aigplants, and 40 lbs of turnip greens this morning and took to the Food Pantry.
We learnt a lesson. Everything was froze and too brittle to pick easily.
Thus, instead of picking Satiddy morning we will pick 4-530 tomorrow (Friday, Nov 16) for the Satiddy morning delivery of Thanksgiving baskets to inner city Memphis.
5,386 + 92 + 2 + 40 = 5,520 year to date lbs!!!!! WOW!!!!! And Friday picking left to do.
Matt Woo, reporter for the Commercial Appeal and the photographer were there this morning. Look for us in the paper this weekend.
We had a wonderful column on the Garlic Planting Party in the CA last Friday Nov 9.

We will be featured in the online edition of Horticulture Magazine sometime next Spring. We are blessed!
