Victory Garden status Nov 1, 2012

Next work day is this Saturday Nov 3.
Time yet to be determined.
It will be a Garlic Planting Party!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then next work day is Thursday Nov 15 730-900am.


WOW! Another blessed week! 

Matt Phillips assisted by his mom Karen cleaned out the two front veggie demo beds and the outside row of plot 3 behind the asperagi. Nice job! They are looking for pine straw for us to use to mulch garlic. They also picked 4 trash bags of pears from Mrs Doris Harper's yard and took to the Food Pantry this morning. This young man is learning the blessing of doing for others, and learning from his good parents!

Last Saturday  Oct 27 In Sung and two helpers thinned all of the turnips in plot 6. He says weight was over 300 lbs which were donated to his church. I rounded down to 300 lbs.

This morning In Sung, Sue, and I picked jalapeno peppers, aigplants, and the "walking" onions and took total 45 lbs to the Food Pantry. We also planted 150 garlic cloves where the onions were. These are miscellaneous unidentified varieties (the garlic, not In Sung and Sue), but some were huge.

5,041 + 300 + 45  = 5,386 year to date lbs!!!!!  WOW!!!!! A new record for us! 

We will make a decision Friday about having a BIG GARLIC PLANTING PARTY Saturday, most likely Saturday morning. Dave Fitzgerald will once again lead this.

Our next harvest and work day is Thursday 730-900am November 15  two weeks from today. We will, Lord willing, have a lot of cabbages, turnips, and turnip greens for our needy neighbors. That is the last day the Food Pantry will be open before Thanksgiving.

Aint God good!!
