The St. Francis Sustainable Garden Project supports the hungry, at-risk children and their families in our area. We use a garden plot in front of the St. Francis rectory where we grow and harvest herbs, vegetables and flowers. In past years each harvest has produced over 180 lbs. of produce- all delivered to the pantry at Foundations Preschool of Ann Arbor, - child care center for at-risk, low-income families.

The St. Francis Grounds & Botanical Gardens: Several gardens surround the St Francis of Assisi campus of buildings, including, but not limited to, the church, school, rectory and/or parish offices. These gardens need to be a beautiful expression of hospitality, in particular, the entrances, to our fellow parishioners and visitors as well as reflect a statement of our appreciation for God's creation and nature.

Fwd: Thursday Harvest


HARVEST:
A couple of ounces of both red and black raspberries.
A couple of zucchini and yellow squash   I left some smaller ones that may be ready for harvest on Monday.
Start checking the tomatillos, I harvested a couple that were ready.
I also harvested three cucumbers and left one that will be bigger on Monday. There are more coming and you have to look below the plants as well.

The bush beans are really growing!!!

I looks like something cut/bit leaves off the pole beans.  This is near where the peas once were. I don't know if they were trimmed by human or if something got into the garden and nibbled them off?

Hopefully the hot weather this coming weekend and maybe into next week will help the tomatoes ripen.  It was too cool last year for them.

Have a great weekend.
