Hello hippies!
As we begin to plant our spring gardens, I have a request of you. If your gardens have previously left you with a surplus of veggies, or if you have space for a couple extra rows, it would mean the world to me if you would join in me in a Grow a Row challenge.
How it works
1. Find a local food pantry and see what types of fresh foods they are most in need of. It's usually tomatoes, onions, lettuce, and other basic veggies like green beans and peas. (Please note that many people are unfamiliar with the non-common forms of these veggies, so stick to the basics like roma and beefsteak tomatoes, romaine and iceburg lettuce, etc, so that they don't go to waste at the pantry.)
2. Plant an extra row of your selected group of veggies, and harvest them when ready. Take to the food pantry and give the gift of fresh, real food for families in need.
3. Encourage your gardening friends to do the same. Part of a club? Bring it up at your next meeting. Put a flyer up in your local greenhouse if they do that sort of thing. Spread the word. Together we can make non-GMO fresh food a reality for families in need, at nearly no cost to us!
4. Report back here with your success stories!

This is a great idea. We are starting late this year but I think we might be able to do this.
