What to do with garden leftovers?
QUESTION:
Dear Garden of Healing® Nourishing Yourself:
All the housewives in my neighborhood and I plant vegetable gardens, and in the Fall we have an abundance of food; too much food, in fact. Our oversupply is so great we cannot give it away to our families and friends. We are amazed at how much food a small investment in the Spring can make, but what do we do with all this food?
ANSWER:
It's great to hear that you're all nourishing yourselves with garden bounty you planted yourselves. It is amazing how much food can be grown for only $50 to $60.
How about starting a small neighborhood organization that delivers the surplus once a week to one of the many local food banks in your town?
They always need food for distribution to people with disabilities, AIDS and the homeless.
Once you're all set nourishing yourselves you also can nourish other people in your community. It's a great way to re-connect to your community and to use it as a means to donate much-needed food to people who are not as fortunate as you.
Good luck, but you probably don't need any more good fortune than you already have going for yourselves right now.
