veggies



I had a large and beautiful garden that I lost when I lost my partner. This past January a seed catalogue arrived in the post. I wept when I saw it for all that might have been. Then I pulled myself together and took the catalogue over to a single mom and asked if they would like to work on a vegetable garden with me in the large manse property. Her son chose the seeds: purple brocoli, purple carrots, purple lettuce, well you get the drift, and "Bright Lights Swiss Chard". We dug a new bed and had it seeded in early May. Then she got a job down south and left. So now I have an over abundance of chard and dill and lettuce and, with encouragement, the congregation is helping themselves to the harvest.
