It's not important who does the planting, or who does the watering. What's important is that God makes the seed grow. - 1 Corinthians 3:7

Radishes were delivered to the Hickory Soup Kitchen. Thanks to Marcus Miller and Rick Slaven for harvesting. Thanks to Michael Willard and Kathy Tiffee for maintaining the SALT Block Garden.
Thanks to Raising Roots Farm, Danielle and Joseph for assisting with the harvest this morning. With a massive donation of eggs and an equally massive supply of lettuce, spinach, and kale from the Veterans Memorial Garden the Hickory Soup Kitchen had some work on their hands to store and prepare everything! All the volunteers made short work of delivering nearly 100lbs. of fresh produce.
