Harvest Report

Today's final summer garden class was rained out. After the rain Mariah and Mrs. P. were in the garden and harvested as follows:

• 3 cucumbers (one was overripe and turning yellow)
• 25 green peppers (including four "icky" spotted peppers)

Total of 9 1/2 pounds today.

There are several crops ready to be harvested when students come back to school next week. There is a head of savoy cabbage, green beans, lettuce, onions, greens and potatoes. Kids will be surprised to see how much has changed over the summer.

Today we harvested 11 pounds of produce.

Cabbage: 3 heads
Green & Yellow Beans: 1 1/4 pounds
Green Pepper: 12 @ 2 3/4 pounds
Kale: 3/4 pound
Lettuce: 3/4 pound
Swiss Chard: 3/4 pound

Two of the cabbage heads were split so those went home with one of our volunteers, but the rest got dropped off at the local food pantry.
