On Tuesday- our Lettuces, bok choy, cabbage and broccoli plants looked magnificent!
And on Saturday, we had our first harvest and made our first delivery of the season to the Lexington Food Pantry.
Over 19 pounds of bok choy, asparagus, scallions, rhubarb, chives, tatsoi, red leaf lettuce, garlic chives and mint were loaded up and delivered to the Food Pantry.
Grace Chapel members took a moment for a photo before unloading the garden cart at the Lexington Food Pantry.
It may have been a bit gray, but otherwise a great day to start prepping for the start of the 10th season at the Interfaith Garden! We raked, cleaned up asparagus beds, spread compost, and did general garden cleanup. The first signs of spring in the garden were the rhubarb and garlic breaking through the soil.
This morning’s crew included the bees. Yes, that is one of the hives on the right. Alix, the beekeeper, had predicted they were about to get active and we can confirm that was true this morning. Alix reports each hive can house up to 60,000 bees!
