Addition Friday 12/22/2012:
Carl picked 3 bags of kale, 4 bags of turnip greens, and 5 small and 1 large cabbage, and delivered them and 4 bushels of cabbage scrap leaves to a large family who raises chickens. Other than the scraps that added 20 pounds to our 2012 total.
AND Victory Garden is in Horticulture Magazine online edition of Gardens On the Go:

Leah and Anthony Mire, Karen and David and Cody Cichocki and her MIL, and I picked 127 lbs of cabbages and 84 lbs of turnips and greens and took them to the Collierville Food Pantry along with the cabbages and turnips from Germantown church of Christ. See pictures below.
Actually we picked 80 lbs of turnips and realized that left us with 5,997 for 2012 so we picked 4 more pounds to get past the three ton mark of His blessings for His needy people.
5,790 + 84 + 127 + 20 = 6,021 year to date lbs!!!! WOW, and plenty of turnip greens left to pick.
Any ideas on that?
Next we need to spread straw on all bare ground and especially around the new garlic and onyuns where henbit is proliferating.
Here's wishing you and yours a Very Merry Christmas and a Safe and Prosperous and Happy New Year.
Merry Christmas! |
