Sometimes a little quick rinse is called for. Lili dunks the beets.
It’s been a while since I last helped and wow, it has filled in a lot! Fortunately, it wasn’t as hot as last Saturday. I worked along with other members of Hancock Church, First Baptist, the Chinese Bible Church of Boston and other friends of the Garden.
First tomatoes of the season!
Like most Saturdays, the focus was on harvesting early and fast so we could deliver to the Pantry in time for them to organize the fresh produce donations and distribute that morning. My quick total was ~ 115 lbs.–including potatoes, onions, cucumbers, zucchini, peppers, green beans, roman beans, pole beans, eggplant, bok choy, parsley, basil, beets, radishes, cherry tomatoes and chard.
