Up and running

Leaves; beautiful, intricate, delicious. This week we've delivered the first forty pounds of fresh produce to Neighborhood House. Kale, spinach, collard greens, and Swiss chard make up the bulk of the food delivered, but the food shelf also received nearly twenty pounds of fresh strawberries.

This year we are delivering to Francis Basket -- the Highland branch of the food shelf near Sibley Plaza -- in addition to the main food shelf on Robbie Street.

Biomass increasing

The garden is on its way. With the rain, and now a little sun, the plants appear to be doubling in size each day. We have already harvested some mustard greens (and weeds).
