A new veg for @ftndurham this past week: snap beans! 👍😀👍. ~16 lbs of fresh produce (0.5 lbs green onions, 5.5 lbs kale, 6 lbs tomatoes, 2 lbs green beans, and 2 lbs wax beans) went to FTND's Responding to Hunger Together campaign. 🍅🥦🥖Please consider contributing! #feedingdurham 🙂  Sifted out 20K juicy mealworms last week to support Toronto Wildlife Centre @torontowildlifecentre...and replenished our mealworm frass fertilizer supply for our victory garden in the process! 🐛💩 Please support TWC's wildlife protection efforts! 🐿️🦇🦆.  We were frustrated by the hot weather the couple of weeks before last, because the tomatoes were slow to ripen and pollination was generally poor. ☀️Then, Japanese beetles attacked our go-to crop, kale. Cobbled together 7 lbs black cherry tomatoes and 3.5 lbs beefsteak tomatoes to support @ftndurham and their Responding to Hunger Together campaign. 🍅🍅🍅Please consider contributing! #feedingdurham 😀  The second wave is here -- the second wave of vegetables, that is! 😁Fall is the new spring! 🍂Planted some fall crops last weekend. Heavy on the kale because it seems to grow well for us.🥦🥕🥒  Carrots were a little stumpy but really sweet and flavourful. 🥕We enjoyed giving 6 lbs of these to @FTNDurham along with 6 lbs tomatoes 🍅 and 12 lbs kale 🥦 this week. We support their Responding to Hunger Together campaign #feedingdurham  A pollinator in the making. 🐛🦋 We don't mind an awesome black swallowtail caterpillar munching on our parsley! 😀  Funny eggplant man living in our victory garden. 😆 Plus, some info here on how vegetable gardeners can help food banks (U.S.-based info but still largely relevant) http://ow.ly/NbwH50AXCBL  This week, we were so pleased to support @FTNDurham RESPONDING TO HUNGER TOGETHER campaign with a harvest of ~10 lbs tomatoes and ~ 12 lbs kale 🍅🥦🍅🥦🍅🥦🍅 #feedingdurham 🙂👨🌾 We love what FTND does for our community and encourage others to participate.  Overachieving strawberry plant. 🍓🥇Started this strawberry plant early in lockdown from seed just for fun. it's the only one out of about 25 sibs to even survive. It has exceeded expectations by even making a tiny strawberry. That's less than 5 months since being a seed. 😮 We expect great things from this guy: 🍰🥧😜  |
