Also from today's Longmont eNews:
"The community is invited to participate in a Community Potato Harvest at Rogers Grove on Saturday October 4 at 9 a.m. This growing season the City of Longmont Parks, Open Space and Public Facilities Division planted two potato crop varieties as a pilot sustainable community food share project. Yukon Gold potatoes have already been harvested with over 250 pounds donated to the OUR Center. Russet Burbank potatoes are now ready to harvest. Bring a bag and shovel or garden fork. Potatoes will be split between volunteers and the OUR Center. If rain or excessively muddy conditions occur, the event will be postponed to October 11. Call Paula Fitzgerald at 303-651-8448 with any questions."
This sounds like a great opportunity for a family to learn about how food grows, maybe get some yummy locally grown potatoes to take home, do some hard work and talk about donating to those less fortunate than us!
