St. Andrew's Grows

St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in Arlington, Virginia, is starting our 5th year of vegetable gardening. Our produce is given to the Arlington Food Assistance Center to feed those in need. Over the past 4 years, we have donated over 2 tons of vegetables from our organic garden, using a piece of land on our 5 acre property that had not been used in many years. We are very proud of our efforts and we hope those who receive the produce can taste the love and caring that goes into each item!

Harvesting kicking into really high gear.....August 9

Today was Michael's turn to harvest and deliver the vegetables.......He started out admiring the flowers and clipping the dying blossoms.....the flowers are in really good shape!

On to the peppers......we have different kinds and they are growing at different speeds so he checked the different plants to see what was ready to be picked.

The okra has survived the onslaught from "Thumper" and has some pods ready to be picked.

So today's harvest totaled 59 pounds! So far this year we have donated 175 pounds of produce to the Arlington Food Assistance Center!

Keep praying for rain!
