 We picked full baskets of tomatoes this morning…regular and cherry  |
 While searching for ripe tomatoes amidst the laden plants, I came across this garden marker hiding in the greenery. It would have been left when the tomato seedlings were first planted. It reads “And God said…’It is good!’” I trust the folks receiving this delicious bounty agree. |

Here is a close up of the layers on one of the delivery carts. I love the mix of color…yellow of the squash, white of the garlic, green of the basil, red of the tomatoes and pink of the flowers. It is a happy mix. |

Mark is saying “So much kale!” or blessing the kale. I don’t know which but either would have been appropriate!
Last week this family harvested potatoes. This week they got the whole Garden experience…harvesting (parsley here), delivering to the Lexington Food Pantry, planting and weeding.
