The warm weather we've been having means that our campus community garden has continued to produce. Check out all of the veggies we donated to the Community Food Warehouse this week, including peppers, tomatoes, purple tomatillos (!), Jedi jalapenos (!!), and....asparagus beans (!?!). We have donated over 300 lbs. of vegetables from the garden so far this year.
