Wow!

I am thrilled to be a part of a master gardener committee that helps to feed the hungry in our local area! I was especially proud of this group of people after receiving an update on the volume of our donation contributions thus far for the year. Read the tally and see what you think.

From June 20th to September 4th, you have helped to harvest and I have delivered:
Broccoli 76 pounds
Cauliflower 38 pounds
Cabbage 121 pounds
Kohlrabi 78 pounds
Banana peppers 9 pounds (plus more that were included in "Peppers")
Peppers 87 pounds
Eggplant 58 pounds
Tomatoes 647 pounds
Grape tomatoes 88 pounds
hot peppers 7 pounds (plus more included under Peppers)
Cucumbers 6 pounds
Green Beans 40 pounds
Golden Zucchini 156 pounds
Patty Pan Squash 36 pounds
Total 1,450 + pounds!!!!!!!

It's incredible, but there is still more to harvest this month. I'd say it has been a very good year!
