A GARDENER'S happiest surprises come at harvest. That certainly has been true for Rozlyn (left) one of our first neighbors to have a community garden at Sanctuary Farm Phila. Yesterday Roz and Karimah (right) harvested these beautiful rainbow carrots, poblano peppers and beets, with more to come in the weeks ahead.

Gardening provides numerous health benefits. The sights and smells of a fresh garden can boost a gardener's mood and wellbeing and relieve stress. It's also a weight-bearing activity that helps build strength and improve flexibility.

HERE'S THE TATER TALLY! We harvested **650 pounds** of sweet potatoes at our Huntingdon Valley garden on Friday. Thanks, folks, for taking a guess. Cherie, one of our therapeutic gardening volunteers, came the closest at 641 pounds.

But wait. The total number for this year's harvest is even better. Today our therapeutic gardeners harvested an additional 310.5 pounds in just two Berks garden beds. So this year's harvest is just shy of 1,000 pounds. 💚Look at those beauts in today's photos.🍠🍠🍠

We are so excited to share this year's crop with our free produce farm stand friends after a few days of curing. In the meantime, we will have loads of greens, eggplant and more Tuesday morning at 22nd & Cecil B Moore from 9:40 am until noon, as long as we have food.

Hope to see you there! Bring a bag for 4 items. No bag? No problem. We'll give you a bag with 3 items.

WHY DO WE WANT YOUR LEAVES??

Andrea explains why pesticide-free leaves are so good for our gardens. They are sooo important as we put our beds to rest for the winter.

If you have leaves to spare, please share them with us! Drop off your bags of pesticide free leaves at 24th & Berks between 9 am and 3 pm weekdays.

TYSM!!
