🔥When you're hot, you're hot! 🔥

Neighbor #1 said, "Please come and get all of the peppers 🌶 because it's time for my cabbage."

Neighbor #2 said, "Let's make hot sauce. The recipe is easy. It's vinegar, salt and peppers.Turn on the blender and forget about it." 😁

Neighbor #3 had the jars. When I called she said, "Yes, come and get them."

🔥 Hot Sauce 🔥 Hot peppers may help lower blood pressure ❤ 😉

🌱Another Hands Down Porch Garden order filled 🙌🏾🌱

This resident loves to cook and when she requested collards and cabbage, we delivered! 👍🏾

Gardening has brought her joy for years. Although physical limitations make gardening more challenging today, we planted five collards and four cabbage plants—just the right amount for her to manage.💚

We’ll continue checking in and supporting her because every resident deserves the opportunity to grow, connect, and enjoy the benefits of fresh, healthy food.

Residents are asked to identify a volunteer who can help them care for their garden. With our volunteers and C.L.I.C.K. support, we’re growing a community of healthier, happier residents—one porch at a time! 🙌🏾🌱

💚 Want to volunteer or know someone who would love a Hands Down Porch Garden? Give us a call at 256-600-5961.

Help us spread some love and health!🌱💚
