I gathered up the second-to-last harvest from the rooftop garden for a delivery timed for the pre-Thanksgiving Fresh Market at
Breakthrough Urban Ministries.

The delivery was flush with greens and root vegetables - multi-colored chard, mustard greens, radishes and yellow turnips.

The collard greens are now the only veggies left on the roof! They will get harvested before it gets to freezing daytime temperatures.
