Some great growing
We are having a great season in the giving garden. This is in large part to the grant we received this spring from SGGN which we used to purchase moodoo for our existing plots and to revitalize a plot long underutilized. Some ups and downs. Bunnies nibbled our pole beans but we replanted and put up fencing, we had some theft of collard plants which were looking so good. Lettuce and chard have done very well, zucchini almost ready for first harvesting, tomatoes looking good.
