Last week, 33 eager volunteers (including several staff members in honor of Earth Day) turned compost piles, modified a pea trellis for tomatoes, built a new trellis and planted cucumbers. Volunteers planted purslane for a chemistry research project next spring with Professor Eskew’s APPLES students. Volunteers harvested 35 pounds of spinach, lettuce, kale, Swiss chard, turnips, radishes, strawberries, mint, cilantro and parsley that were distributed to 18 appreciative third shift housekeepers early.
