CVG Work Progress -- Thank you Girl Scouts!

Today's Harvest Donation = 138 lbs

Next work opportunity: Join Carl at the Garden as he harvests this Thursday from 7:30 am - 8:30 am for the Collierville Food Pantry.

In the last couple of days, Carl, Teresa and Stephanie added gallon after gallon of compost to the plot 1 raised beds (previous onlon beds), removed yard bag after yard bag of weeds from plot 6 (previous garlic bed), and mowed and trimmed the grass. Jan added a larger trellis to the cukes and also harvested 8 lbs of them!
