St. John's Garden Update
Hi Everyone
Our garden is doing quite well this year, even though we started quite late in June.
We have been harvesting and sending it to the Food Bank. Here are some photos from last
week’s harvest. We picked two zucchinis both weighing over ten pounds with a basket of other
vegetables. It is such a blessing to give where it is needed.
Thanks to all the gardeners and to Dante who has been dropping off the vegetables to the Food Bank. The Lord of the harvest is smiling down on us. (Matthew 9:38)

God Bless You All
