Just a quick update on the Davidson Community Garden...
Harvesting is now in full swing. After Saturday's efforts, DCG will be over 500 lbs delivered to Ada Jenkins - a quarter ton and a quarter way towards the goal of a full ton by year end! The first big harvest of potatoes was dug up (sorry, no pictures today!), and cantelopes are beginning to come in as well. That should really bring the weight. We're also looking at a record tomato harvest this year.
The garden has also started to get some colorful "visibility" around town. Garden coodinator, Connie Beach, sent out the following as part of a recent update to volunteers...
"Stop by Summit Coffee to check out the lovely flowers decorating the tables...they are courtesy of the community garden. The good folks at Summit have been wonderful the last couple of years donating coffee grounds almost every day for the compost pile, so we are delighted they are finding a small
way to benefit from the garden. It's a happy trade!"
Stop by some Saturday morning and see what's happening! We always need the help!
