“5 Questions” featuring Steve, Plot #25

1. I love gardening because: “…I like getting outside and it’s cool to eat something you grew (or helped grow).
2. Last season my biggest gardening accomplishment was: “…my Black-eyed Susan flowers… my balcony doesn’t get much sun, but I had over 100 flowers!”
3. My biggest gardening goal for this year is: “…just successfully harvest some veggies (especially peppers) to eat.
4. My favorite garden center is: “…either Grace Brothers or Royal Victorian in North Royalton because they are both close to me, friendly staff…carry a lot of organic or OMRI rated products.”
5. When I was growing up I remember this about my parent’s/grandparent’s garden: “…the sheer variety my dad was growing…strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, potatoes, cucumbers…pretty much every veggie you could possibly grow in Ohio.”

Thanks Steve!

How many pounds do you think you’ll be able to contribute from your plot?

Food for thought: You could grow one plant in your plot for donation purposes only!

In 2017 we donated 460 lbs of produce from our garden!  Thank you for your kind donations to the local food bank!
