“Better Boy and Roma tomatoes, yellow and red cherry tomatoes, white and purple eggplant, burpless cucumbers, green zucchini, green bell peppers, Nantes carrots, Thai basil and Italian oregano is just a sample of what is growing in the Sacred Heart School Garden in Mount Pleasant. This past spring, Sacred Heart received a grant from Whole Foods to help transform its unattractive, concrete front schoolyard along Park Rd. into a thriving garden full of herbs, veggies and happy bees. I am a parent at the school and I have seen how much love and hard work that the students have put into their garden, even over summer break. I am so excited to see them finally get to enjoy the delicious fruits of their labor!”

“Here’s an early July harvest and an early August harvest from Petworth. Yellow squash, zucchini, chard, strawberries and a lone tomato in July (I planted the tomatoes a bit late this year). Sungold and grape tomatoes, purple and green pole beans, the last of the chard, radishes, turnips and a TON of radish/turnip greens from August (I don’t think I thinned the radishes/turnips enough earlier this season, so a lot of them never matured but did produce the tasty green tops!) Anyone have a good recipe to use up a boatload of spicy greens??”

“With the exception of the onions and beets, all the peppers, eggplant, and tomatoes pictured here (fresh out of the smoker) came from my neighbor’s backyard garden in Manor Park. The garlic was grown in a veggie bed at my son’s school, West Education Campus in 16th Street Heights.”
