Late season update

In the last few weeks we've taken in and delivered quite a handy load of fresh vegetables (well fruits really, if you want to be perfectly accurate). One of our Northern Kentucky Community Gardeners, Terri Turner, generously ceded her plot for Harvest Stewards to glean a couple of weeks ago. “There may be a few tomatoes there, so take whatever you can find”, she told me in an email. In fact, there was well over 8 pounds of premium quality romas, yellow pears, beefsteaks and cherries to be had! Thanks so much, Terri! The folks at Be Concerned were so pleased to get them. With collections like that, plus some late-season harvest from the LBC Garden, our season total is just shy of 100 pounds! (99.52, to be precise.) I know we'll break the hundred pound mark, because there are at least two or three healthy butternut squash that will be donated once they ripen. Many thanks to all the gardeners who have so thoughtfully dropped a little bit here and a little bit there to help us feed hungry folks!
