Foodbank Finale!

WOW!

What a fabulous season of growing for the foodbank!

With our last harvest of

purple potatoes,

purple carrots,

and (white) onions...

harvested by the folks from Options Calgary...

we add another 67.4 pounds of produce

bringing our total foodbank harvest to 180.4 pounds!

Woohoo!

final foodbank harvest

Today our Food bank potato plot was harvested by the kind and hardworking crew from Options Calgary!

 

We braved the cool morning and soon warmed up with all the digging and hunting for PURPLE potatoes.

Added to that, carrots and onions...and we have another bumper crop.

Harvesters were keen and eager to think of all the fun next year!

Thank you Options Calgary for your hard work in the garden this year.
