Sometimes you just can’t eat the fruits of your labor fast enough.  Don’t let your garden bounty go to waste, though.  Donate your extra produce to Solid Ground’s Lettuce Link program, which provides fresh fruits and veggies to Seattle-area food banks, meal programs, shelters and senior centers.  Mary’s Place meal program (610 Dexter Ave N) is in need of apples, pears, plums and cooking apples in particular.  They’re also big fans of greens and collards.  To make a donation to Mary’s Place, call Sheri or Marty at 206-621-8474.   For more information on other locations in need, visit Solid Ground‘s web site.  Don’t have a garden?  They also need volunteers to help pick fruit, deliver or donate their green thumbs.
