So far this summer, the garden has yielded more than 1,800 pounds of okra, squash, eggplant, corn, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, peas and green beans. That’s a lot of healthy food, and much of it is being consumed by people who would not otherwise be able to get so many fresh vegetables.
At this time of year, home gardens also are at their peak, often producing more than the gardeners can use or give away. The organizers of Comet Grove offer an elegant solution — bring the extra produce to them and they’ll distribute it to people who really need it.
It’s an elegant concept: Local people doing work they love for the benefit of neighbors who need it. It exemplifies the idea of community.
