Weather is beautiful and perfect for maters to set fruit and for gardeners to work.

We pickt 13 lbs of jalapeno peppers, bell peppers, maters, and cucumbers and saved to take to the Food Pantry on Thursday. We also pickt 6 lbs of peas and beans which Val took to Page Robbins for them to use in therapy work.

Monday morning July 22 a group from Southaven toured the garden. They wanted to see our sustainable practices and get advice on starting a new community garden.

I went to Germantown church of Christ this morning and helped pull thirty dozen ears of sweet corn and a peck of maters and took to the Food Pantry. This is not included in our total.

Laura Ruth and Connie Bogema continue to spread joy at Trinity Hospice, the VA, Page Robbins, Library Info Center, Dove Rehab, etc, with fresh cut zinnias.
