I know I have written a lot about growing food etc… I am sure I also wrote about taking the food we grow to the soup kitchens by the truck load.
As I get up this morning remembering how we picked so many cucumbers yesterday evening “after the picker went through”!
My first thought is how much waste there is with all this new equipment. It’s shocking that in a short time we picked more than half the city could eat. It’s too bad farmers don’t post a schedule and what they are picking so the left over produce isn’t just tilled under. So many of our own people of all races and colors are hungry. I don’t know how you feel but I hate going to bed hungry.
My second thought is I really hope they like cucumbers, let me rephrase that I hope everyone I know likes cucumbers lol. Cucumber sandwiches, gazpacho, cucumber salads, cucumber with yogurt… I even grilled cucumber once ( by accident, I thought it was a zucchini) and that was pretty tasty.
Have a great day,

I know what you mean about hating waste especially as far as food goes. Some plants like cucumbers and zucchini just produce such large quantities that there seems to never be enough people or places to go with all the produce.
That is a serious amount of cucumbers. I, too, hope a lot of people you know LOVE cucumbers.
Have a great week!

I thought I recalled an organization that used to harvest for charity after the main harvest was done. It was called Second Harvest but now they’re just a food bank that delivers donations. Too bad good food has to go to waste.
