Not a post we we to share but it seems like we have to every year.

We see some of the vegetables are being harvested prematurely. We have signs up saying “not ready”. These plants are not ready to eat. We will post on here when things are ready. We understand that not everyone who uses the garden is a member of this page but it’s the only way we know how to communicate this.

We don’t want to lock the gates, that would be a last resort.

With that said, the blackberries and squash should be ready in a week or so. Please only take what you and your family will consume in a meal.

Thanks for your continued support! I

If you haven’t stopped by the garden lately, take a minute and come by.

Plenty of peas and radishes. Blackberries won’t be long.

Amazing what a little water and sunshine (plus some TLC from our volunteers) does for these plants.

Still plenty of lettuce left to cut. The radishes are ready also.

Check the vegetable stand at the garden. There may be some plants left that have been donated.

Stop by the garden and get some lettuce. Bring your scissors with you to cut the leaves.

In this photo is Mt. Vernon Park and Rec. Director Michael Harshbarger receiving a check from one of our garden board members, Jeff Crabtree. The check was from Sabic Plastics. Sabic has been a major supporter of the garden from it’s inception.

The Community Garden uses Park & Rec. ground to provide vegetables and fruits to the community. Park and Rec. also manages all of our donations. If you’re interested in donating, you can message this page or just contact Park & Rec. Thank you!

Finally wrapped up the planting (briefly). Thanks to Greg and Bridget Wehr for planting 12, squash, 12 zucchini, some okra and egg plant. We’re going to take a break and watch things grow for a few weeks. 😎

The leaf lettuce is ready. Bring your scissors and harvest some. If you haven’t cut lettuce before, please research it or ask someone.
