July 

July is a celebration of summer's bounty, marked as National Peach Month, National Picnic Month, National Blueberry Month, and National Grilling Month. This convergence of festivities highlights the joy of fresh garden food, which can elevate any picnic or grilling event with its vibrant flavors and nutrients. Homegrown peaches, blueberries, and garden vegetables embody the essence of summer, offering a taste that store-bought produce simply cannot match. Gardeners, with their often abundant harvests, have a unique opportunity to share their surplus with neighbors, ensuring everyone can enjoy the freshest ingredients. Donating extra produce not only fosters community spirit but also ensures that everyone has the chance to savor the best of what July has to offer!

Lettuce Celebrate

We love this post from Southborough Library in Southborough, MA. They wrote: “Our garden is growing like crazy!! Harvested a second batch of lettuce for our local food pantry yesterday and waiting for the tomatoes to turn red.”

We’d love to hear how your garden is growing too. Tag us on social or send an email to jamie@ampleharvest.org!

Food banks are continuing to see large numbers of people needing food assistance. If you've planted a garden, think about growing more to feed more. If you can't grow a garden, share AmpleHarvest.org on social media, volunteer, or donate. Every act of kindness counts.
