Still producing!

Aptiv is winter squash heaven with the vines spreading into the next county! There are still lots of potatoes at Aptiv, too, along with broccoli, peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, chard, kale, and green beans.

At City Hall, the peppers and broccoli are this year's stars with eggplants, green beans, cucumbers, summer squash, kale, tomatoes, and chard still coming in, too. We planted some second crops and you can see them coming up now, too. We should have lots of kale this winter.

The Hogan garden is still producing too despite the Reader's Digest worthy story of a couple of weeks ago! Because we aren't sure of the school district's plans, we are going to assume this is probably the last year for Hogan in this form. Are there other sites in the neighborhood where a community victory garden could grow?

As we near the end of the fifth year of gardening, we are amazed to see how many vegetables we're still getting! The weather outlook is for warmer than normal through the end of the year. We'll see how long we can keep things going!

If you want to volunteer, please connect. We'll need more help at season's end for sure.

Here's a good recipe for this time of year (and you can even make it vegan!)

Eggplant with feta from The Spruce Eats is quick, easy, and scrumptious. And you can use a vegan feta if you want. Easy to find and yummy are Follow Your Heart crumbles or VioLife block.
