All of this weeks harvest went to helping the needy have a Thanksgiving Day meal.
Today Whit and Jan Whitaker, Sue Butler, Al Klug, Twila Christian, Les and Peggy Risner, and little old me picked 85 lbs of Bonnie Dutch cabbage and 37 plastic bags (185 lbs) ot turnip greens with a few small turnips, which were taken to a Memphis inner city Thankgiving food box give away.
We also donated a large stack of outer cabbage leaves to a large family which raises chickens. That is not included in our weight.
5,5520 + 85 + 185 = 5,790 year to date lbs!!!! WOW, and some greens and Savoy cabbages still growing to pick in December.
Next chore is to spread the donated 25 bales of straw where the cabbages and greens were and the south side of plot 1. BIG THANKS to the church(?) who donated the straw and to Jimmy Gafford for going to get it.
Elaine Graf organized a benefit chili supper for us last Wednesday. She raised over $320 for us which has been sent to our fund in the aster Gardener books. Will learn the final amount next week.
WOW!
Ain't God good!
