Today we continued our vertical succulent pocket project. We added three more potato sacks to the fence and then spent 4 hours filling the outside of the sacks with two garbage bags full of succulents. It's amazing how many succulent clippings it takes to make a vertical garden. But, all the work was worth it because throughout the whole day passers by stopped walking as they saw them and said "ohhh," "ahhh," "wow," "love the garden" and "thanks for what you're doing in our neighborhood!"

While 4 of us worked on the succulent pockets, other volunteers planted some more radishes, bush beans and more broccoli. And as we do each workday, garden members and visitors were able to enjoy the garden harvest.
When I left at the end of the day, there were 4 pounds of produce left that I got to take home and enjoy, including: broccoli, carrots, fava beans and radishes.
After turning it into stir-fry and adding some brown rice, my partner and I shared a lovely meal - and there is enough for lunch tomorrow.
