Go garden!

I am gearing up for the introduction of kindergarten to my family life, so I am limited in what I can pursue in terms of Harvest of Hope. But. Let it be said that there is SO MUCH growing and going on at our garden! Give me a few weeks and I think I might be able to let myself loose a little more to follow these ideas I have! I still do have one at home once the twins start the big K, but maybe -- just maybe ...

The garden is flourishing. Here are Larry and new volunteer Carol checking out the massive forest of tomatoes in one bed:

Pole beans:

Future fall beds (tentatively expected to be ready by August 15):

Little eggplants:

Baby tomatoes:

Some of our gardeners -- William, who moved to Kingsport from Kenya eight years ago, and his beautiful girls:

Some of our group, directing the garden. From left to right: Susan, Shirlene, Carol, Alison, Larry and Nancy. Not necessarily pictured but hugely influential: God.

As hard as it is to schedule, it makes me excited to meet again with our group. So much is, and so many are, at work in our community garden.
