Giveaway 9/12/26

 Bearden UMC Community Garden - Giveaway 9/12/26.

I am thankful to the volunteers who helped to harvest for our giveaway on Saturday 9/12. We gave away over 40 pounds for produce – okra, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, potatoes, carrots, basil, rosemary, and tromboncino squash.










For the giveaway, I made a tromboncino squash and potato parmesan casserole that we gave away samples and the recipes. 


  Earlier this week, we have planted collard greens in our new raised beds that are covered.


Earlier in the week we gave away produce in the gleaning baskets on the garden fence. 


Blessings, Leigh

We moved the tomato and pepper plant out by bed #3, where we hope to plant them soon. The onion and carrot seedings in bed #4 are doing well.  Worked on another layer of compost in our bins.  The potatoes in bed #1 are looking great.  Thanks, Leigh
