Share Your Harvest Ripe, homegrown vegetables and fruit are hanging
on the vines, ready to pick. Sunset
Magazine’s blog ‘Fresh Dirt’ by Julie Chai
titled “Share your harvest” is a great reminder of the
abundant benefits of growing a garden.My garden is a row pots going down my driveway, since it’s the
spot with the most sun in my small city sized yard. My neighbors eat
fresh tomatoes and their two year old loves to pick fresh strawberries
from the pots. There’s something special about chatting with
neighbors while picking and eating cherry tomatoes. Sharing home grown
food is what a garden is all about.

your garden here are a few organizations that can help you share your
garden's bounty.
