Mystery Hardware

What *are* these?! Gisele stopped by the ReStore and asked if they had anything pea plants could climb up. They had some grocery store racks that hold little bags of snacks. Or maybe they are department store racks that hold socks. Or, or, or... You come and tell us! At our weeding session last Thursday Sara H. and newcomer John adjusted them a bit, stuck them into the ground and gently coaxed pea plants onto the racks. We also thinned beets.

Bloomin' Veggies!

What's growing at the garden? We are! And so are nasturtiums, lettuce, squash and a wide variety of veggies.

Chive Jive!

All work and no play? No way!

One Man's Trash... God Provides

Some of the plants Valeria donated to us are patio tomatoes. Since the Voices for Youth House didn't have any large flower pots, I added that item to the shopping list. But before getting to the store, I took some cardboard to a recyclable drop-off and, right next to that bin of cardboard were... several large flower pots! One man's trash is another man's treasure -- God provides uh-gain! Thank you!

Heather and Gisele washed them with diluted bleach and planted tomatoes and herbs in the pots.
