During this month’s meeting, the gardeners had a chance to sample kale chips  and fresh kale along with their JMG snack. Smooth kale is being grown in the garden. We braved the rain and planted seed garlic, which we hope to see next spring. It will be ready to harvest over the summer for the summer programs or the Food Bank.

It is not too late for your JMGs to donate food to our “Stems, Leaves, Roots, and Seeds” food drive for the Fredericksburg Area Food Bank. We sorted the donations that we already had according to type. I will coordinate with the other classrooms that are making donations to take to the food bank in the next two weeks.

Next month’s JMG date tbd because of the December calendar.
