My sister and I enjoyed a fantastic trip to the Garden Resource Center in Foster Park today for some free plants and gardening supplies. We were able to get 24 plants, a large bag of potting soil, and 3 steel frames (shown in picture 3) for free! Most of the plants I used to replace ones that had been ravaged by critters, and I added one steel frame with cherry tomatoes to the front of the garden in the center- directly in front of the bales. The 2 other frames are on the left side behind the tomatoes in cages, with purple peppers and grape tomatoes strung up.

| Vegetable Plants |
Here is the assortment of plants we got today. Some of the vegetables are sweet corn, chard, tomatoes, peppers, and butternut squash. All of these summer vegetable seem to be ones that Chopper (our neighborhood woodchuck) does not find appetizing. He prefers tender spring crops like kale, broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower.

| Tomatoes and Peppers on Steel Frames |
I got 3 of these steel frames in the donated gardening goods section of the resource center. If you live in Lansing, MI and have garden equipment, plants, soil, or tools that you no longer need, contact the Greater Lansing Food Bank Garden Project to see if you can donate it. The free section also had lots of seeds and garden stakes today. Below, you can see some of the new plants that have been added to the rows with the old ones.
