The Community Garden of Raymond

This past year, the mayor of our town, Isla Tullos, put together a community garden on the grounds of the old Co-op. Although I joined late in the year, there are still some great vegetables. The Okra plants are the size of small trees. Today, I started pulling up some of the 100 tomato plants, and picked at least 50 pounds of tomatoes which will be distributed throughout the town. Although these late tomatoes are still green, most southerners like fried green tomatoes. Wasn’t there a movie with that title?  Anyway, there are wonderful cabbages growing, and the greens are just great. I cooked some the other night. So if you’re driving by the garden, take a look at what a great job our mayor has done.
