God’s FFA (Garden Project)
Garden Project The green beans continue to produce well. On a number of occasions, the green bean harvest has filled a five-gallon bucket, and at other times, the guys have harvested three large baskets full.
The fall harvest of radishes has already begun. We’ve delivered the first of the fall cabbages. Both the fall cauliflower and broccoli are starting to form heads. We have those plants under nets to protect them from the rabbits, deer and insects.
The pumpkins are ripening. This one was detached from the vine and is currently ripening on Winterboer's patio. It was so heavy that Clay needed Loren’s help to lift it into the pickup. Well, it was also wet with dew, so that may have contributed to the problem. In October, New Opportunities will have a large dumpster placed at the gardens for cleaning the plant debris from the garden plots. Stay tuned for that date and time. We try to make a party for the volunteers who help with clean-up.
