Our garden recieved donations of 25 blankets, clothing and socks from the members of
herchurch. The blankets were a part of an interfaith blanket drive called
Project Faith Connect coordinated by
Welcome and the
San Francisco Interfaith Council. Through this project more than 5,000 blankets will be distributed to organizations who work with the homeless on December 7th and 8th.
Today at our garden meeting, in addition to our regular salad harvested from the garden and soup from the Zen Center, we also harvest some of our medicinal plants to make a tea. We used lemon grass, chamomile, stinging nettles, lemon, mint, verbina and red clover.
At our garden meeting we brainstormed ideas about why two different beds of kale are growing so differently. Believe it or not, the kale on the left was planted a week later than the kale on the right. We're working on changing the way we amend the soil as we plant in the future. The kale on the left was planted by a graduate of the Santa Cruz homeless garden who wanted to show us what he had learned and ways we could maximize our yields.
