A lovely ornamental pepper plant in our victory garden, just for fun. 🙂🌶️🌶️🌶️A lovely ornamental pepper plant in our victory garden, just for fun. 🙂🌶️🌶️🌶️  If you saw that overachieving strawberry plant from our Aug 1 post, these are its babies!🍓😮🍓 So the poor little first strawberry it produced got smooshed by accident, so we decided to smoosh it more into some soil to see if it would grow...and voila! It germinated in only 9 days, which is way above the mean! 🥇  Yay for mealworm frass! It's a great veggie booster! 🐛 We were excited to have a nice haul for @ftndurham this past week: kale (11 lbs), cucumbers (1.5 lbs) beefsteak tomatoes (8 lbs), cherry tomatoes (2.25 lbs), eggplant (1 lb), butternut squash (10 lbs), green beans (2.25 lbs), & wax beans (1 lb), so that's 37 lbs altogether!🥦🍆🍅 We'll see how long we can keep this going...🍂 Please support your local food bank!  Round 2: Our 2nd generation of cukes and zukes that we started mid-July for a fall harvest are coming along, boosted with our very own mealworm frass as always 🥒🐛🥒🐛🥒 Hoping these plants pump out lots of fruit before frost hits for @ftndurham 😀  Our awesome eggplant man is now sporting some sick shades and reminding us to mask up!🍆🕶️🤙  Too cute! ☺️Zach helped us harvest butternut squash for @ftndurham 👨🌾Please support FTND's action against hunger  We hope everyone will be safe this school year. 🏫🎓👨🎓We plan to take special precautions and still run our used writing instruments and crayons recycling program in Toronto and the Durham Region, Ontario 🖊️✍️🖍️Please email [email protected] for more information. 😀  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! 🐿️🦇🦆.  |
