Promoting the Food Pantry Garden

So during the Easter Egg Hunt, I was passing out little packs of bean seeds to children to promote our food pantry garden.  Hopefully some folks will grow extra and donate it to our food pantry!

John got us a couple loads of compost and we are ready to plant the raised beds.  We hope to till up the ground around them for more planting in the ground as we don't have enough materials for more beds yet.

The children's church may come help us plant beans one Sunday, so they can learn about gardening at the church too.  I hope to get John to make us a compost tumbler for the church also, so we can compost our vegetable scraps and green clippings there too.  Very excited about the new area by the retention pond, it looks like it gets a good amount of sunlight!

If you would like to contribute a tomato plant or some time watering the garden, let me know!
