NEWS & REMINDERS
TBE MITZVAH GARDEN
The mid-July garden is exploding with energy.
 
The pole beans are climbing higher and higher and the cucumbers, bush beans and zucchini continue to spread out.  We have several varieties of tomatoes that are producing fruit including Jet Star and Supersonic, as well as Sun Gold cherry tomatoes.  We've donated 7 lbs. of lettuce to Person-to-Person in Darien this season.
 
The zinnias - yellow, cream, coral and red at the garden entrance on the left - almost steal the show as they punctuate the harmonious scen e.   During the season we deliver flowers through the Reyut (Friendship) committee.

If you would like to support TBE's Mitzvah Garden, volunteers are needed and donations are always welcome.  You may sponsor a half-bed for $90 or a full-bed for $180.  Interested?  Contact Steven Lander at [email protected] .
