We brought another load of fresh produce to Kalamazoo Loaves & Fishes today. The tomatoes are starting to ripen in full force. Tomatoes followed by beans seem to be our most productive crops this, our first year. At Loaves & Fishes we were greeted by Marvin King (featured in the photo to the left), who we have come to expect to see when we make our weekly deliveries. Mr. King always greets us with a warm welcome and a smile. We always look forward to seeing him.
Back to the garden, our corn shows few signs of producing anything but stalks for us this year. Deb Zulauf plans to pull it and replant a late season plot of beans and peas in its place. We are hoping that our efforts to add organic materials and nutrients to the soil this year will make next year's garden even more productive. We are also discussing what crops to include next year, and which ones to eliminate. Stay tuned to this blog for more on this process -- especially toward next year's planting season.
