HEAPS! 1,268 pounds of healthy fruits and vegetables

In the words of Christine our fantastic Neighborhood House Food Shelf Coordinator:

"August has been quite the harvest month!! Here is the poundage:

• August total: 759 lbs!!
• Plus 509 lbs from the beginning of the season, equals 1,268 lbs grand total!

Way to go, House of Hope!! You guys are great!!"

Yep, garden volunteers are great!

Hey, we missed you!

These cukesauruses were hiding up against the fence (that's a quarter, not a dime at the bottom right). I have no idea what they will taste like. We harvested another 62 pounds of lots of beautiful, organic produce this morning.

Here, one of our great, early morning volunteers shows off some okra, banana peppers, and heirloom tomatoes, yum!
