In this season of plenty

Hey everyone

In the last few weeks I've heard a lot of "can you use some kale?" kinds of comments and since I'm also blessed with abundant greens (among other things) now seemed like a good time to mention some other destinations for your plot's productive bounty.  If your harvest is more than you, your family, friends and neighbors can accommodate you're eligible to reap the kharmic rewards of donating your surplus.

My first stop for this exercise is usually my neighborhood fire station.  Firefighters have to pay for and prepare their own food during their 24-hour-long shifts and they always appreciate contributions. They're also some of the nicest people in the world and it feels great to honor and thank them for their generous work.

My friend Vivian, a Glendale librarian, also recommended Meals on Wheels as a donation destination. Their address is 320 W. Windsor Road, Glendale. Their phone number is 818-246-5586.

If you have other places you'd recommend we all consider please leave it/them in a comment.

Thanks!

Hannah

PS The picture above left shows two purple potatoes I put into the ground and the next picture shows maybe half of the magical potato bounty I pulled out of my plot not much later on.  Turns out potatoes are the potato seeds!  Just cut them so at least 2 eyes are on each slice, put 'em in the ground and see what happens.  Important note: Don't eat any potatoes that have green on them or have grown on the surface of the soil, apparently they're a hazard.
