Above: “Tonight’s dinner harvest! Grown in Petworth, where our tiny cubicle of a garden produces a steady stream of herbs and lettuces, plus tomatoes (5 varieties represented here), peppers, radishes, cucumbers, edamame and eggplant. Grapevine has over 50 clusters of table grapes this year, and we had some blueberries and strawberries. Fig tree sadly froze this winter, but is regenerating from the ground up.”

“We have 2 raised beds that we enjoy growing our eats in- in Eckington. We harvested lettuce for a few months, culminating in a day where we harvested 57 small heads of lettuce (lots of which was washed and given to friends and neighbors)…Also, here is the season’s garlic harvest and an average week of kale, mint and burgundy beans.The tomatoes and peppers are raging so our dinners will all include purple beans, bell peppers and tomatoes for the foreseeable future.”
