Nov. 11 - City Hall garlic & clean up
From noon to 2 p.m. on Monday, November 11, we'll pull dead plants and put garlic in at the City Hall Community Victory Garden. Come on down if you want to help!
And there's still good stuff to pick at Aptiv. Try this yummy recipe for excess chard (may use vegan sausage). https://true-north-kitchen.com/herbed-white-bean-and-sausage-soup-with-swiss-chard/

We have BROCCOLI! (and peas!)
But the stars are the broccoli plants, lots of little and not-so-little side shoots are available. There's also tomatoes, peas, chard, kale, parsley, and a little bit of spinach.
Needless to say, garden clean up and garlic planting have been pushed back a bit. Stay tuned!

Green Tomato Edition
There are still veggies coming out of our victory gardens! While the tomatoes*, peppers, and squash are done for the year, chard, kale, and even broccoli are still growing at Aptiv and City Hall. Even the late-planted peas are developing little pods .
If you want any GREEN tomatoes, please email, text or call and we can meet at Aptiv. From pies and cakes to relishes and salsas, green tomatoes are the very versatile end-of-season ingredient.
