Produce ripens in a vegetable garden dedicated to growing food donations Friday, August 31, 2012 at Turnagain United Methodist Church in west Anchorage. I have seen the garden progress every day as I come and go from home past the church, and the sign always brings a smile to my face. I finally stopped for a photo after the plants got large enough to fill the scene alongside the sign. The small crop will be given to the Downtown Soup Kitchen, and the church hopes to expand the garden next year.
