This has been a fabulous week in the garden. We had beautiful flights of volunteer angels get everything done that needed done ahead of the beautiful soaking rain we are receiving here on Halloween.
On Tuesday Oct 29, 2013 Patree and I picked 103 lbs of turnips and greens which I delivered to Julia Ferguson on Harris Cv. Arrangement was made to coordinate distribution with local NAACP leader Annette Key. We also cleaned out and planted in the raised wooden beds 1 more row of carrots and 3 more rows of spinnich. We sowed, walked them in, soaked them, and covered them with pieces of carpet to help raise soil temperature to facilitate germination, hoffentlich und Lord willing.
Wednesday a large flight of volunteers (Leah and Anthony, Sue, Val, Patree, Dave, Arlene, and me) picked 180 lbs of turnip greens. Since we were a' picking and a' thinning, there warnt no turnips. I took them to two firemen and two of our benefactors this morning.
Harvest total 2013 to date:
2,763 To date + 180 + 103 - 89 adjustment lbs = 2,957 lbs new YTD!
The adjustment is to use the Memphis Food Bank weight instead of our weight. I believe they were incorrect and let the greens sit for two days and dry out before they weighed them. They picked up a day late then did not weigh for yet another day. Oh well! The Lord giveth. The Lord taketh away. Blessed be the name of the Lord!

Balance as of 09/12/2013 $662.26
