Bountiful Beans

We picked beans and delivered produce 3 days this past week. Nothing better than fresh, cooked beans with a little butter and salt.

A Little Lunchtime Weeding

Just Admiring Our Veggies

Everything is looking so fabulous we had to take a few photos on the way to the parking lot.

The Harvest Grows

We have more than radishes to deliver today to Eagan Lewis House! Beans were picked along with peppers and young onions and of course radishes.

11 Pounds of Produce!

Summer is zipping by and the giving garden is thriving. As we near the two month mark we have already harvested 11 pounds of veggies! The domestic radishes, or what I have been known to call beets (I am the novice gardener in the group), have been literally popping out of the ground so fast we can barely keep up with the harvesting. We have also had great success with the elegant Daikon radishes, weighing in at five pounds, and we're not done picking yet. Also, the first of the peppers have been delivered to Lewis House - banana and jalepeno - with much more to come.

I'm sure the folks at Lewis House will be happy to know that everything in the garden is either in bloom or bearing fruit, and they will not have to subsist on radishes alone!

In the News Again!

A story about the Giving Garden aired July 15 on Twin Cities Live Channel 5 TV. The video can be viewed at Twin Cities Live, just scroll down the page to find the Giving Garden video.
