Thanks to Hubert, the garden’s faithful daily volunteer, veggies from The Soul Patch are regularly being harvested, weighed in and distributed at the Morrison County Food Shelf. Cabbages, onions, peppers, beans, zucchini, radishes, lettuce, peppers, cucumbers and Swiss chard have been harvested to the tune of approximately 260 pounds to date. Peas should be ready for harvest soon and the tomatoes are getting that yellowish cast seen before turning red.
A few recent pictures for your visual edification:

One of the beans we picked this evening was at least 10 inches long.
