There are green beans, sweet potatoes, a few ripe tomatoes, a lot of green tomatoes, watermelon, and some peppers in the Community Garden. Stop by and pick what you need.
Folks from the neighborhood have been invited to pick out of the garden (two families have taken us up on it), and kids who live around the church have done a good job of finding the watermelons (we're glad they did), but there are a few left. As Shakespeare wrote, "the race is to the swift."
For salsa fans there are plenty of Rutgers (sorry, Hogs fans) variety tomatoes available for salsa verde, for frying, or for that infamous green tomato pie that is really good. You may also find some eggplants. Again, help yourself.
The picture above is of a hyacinth bean pod. Feel free to pick these for inclusion in salads or Asian soups. Do not eat the dry beans but by all means collect the pods for replanting in your own gardens next Spring.
Our Fall clean-up is going well. We're about a day or two away from finishing up our work in the Community Garden and then, we'll move on to the Children's Garden. By Thanksgiving at the latest both gardens will look spectacular and be ready to rest over the winter.
If anyone has some composted chicken manure we will be very grateful to get it. Thanks to everyone for your terrific support of our Creation Care mission!
