Weekly Challenge Update


Sharon's Independence Days Challenge Year 3, week 29
1. Plant something: nope
2. Harvest something: Had to remove a tomato plant from the Community Garden Plot that had overgrown and was blocking the wheelchair path, but thought to take off the green tomatoes first and save them to try fried green tomatoes; tomatoes, beans, dill
3. Preserve something:
4. Waste Not: Had to remove a tomato plant from the Community Garden Plot that had overgrown and was blocking the wheelchair path, but thought to take off the green tomatoes first and save them to try fried green tomatoes A gentleman phoned me to say he got my name and number from the bulletin board at the community garden- he wanted to start donating his spent grains and hop flowers from something he brews or ferments. I saw no problem with it and said to leave it there so others can inspect it. He said that if the board goes along he has enough to keep us in browns for quite awhile. Of course, thinker that I am - or think I am- I am thinking that if it gets to be too much others, including yours truly could use it at home in their compost piles.
5: Want not:
6. Preparation and Storage:
7. Build Community Food Systems: nothing, except planning my part of the demos at the B-Patch Garden Day celebration
8. Eat the food (cook something new): fried green tomatoes; beans, dill together (steamed the beans, spiced with dill)
