Bring In Your Extra Produce!

At Neighborhood House, we believe in the power of the community coming together. The Scattered Garden program is a great example of this. When it's time to harvest, we ask that you please bring in any extra produce to the Free Food Market. This ensures that members of our community have access to quality, healthy and fresh produce.

You can drop off your produce at 3445 SW Moss St, Portland, OR 97219.

Free Food Market donation hours
Monday: 9:00 am-4:00 pm
Tuesday: 9:00 am-noon
Wednesday: 9:00 am-4:00 pm
Thursday: 10:00 am-5:00 pm

Our volunteers haven't been enjoying the heat but our garden sure has!

We Want To See Your Garden Grow!

We want to see what you have done and what you can do! Send us pictures of your garden or share a post to the social media platform of your choice and tag us. Show us your photos or videos of your garden, produce, and activities. Your photo could be featured on our social media or in the newsletter!

Feel free to be silly and show us your fun side in your content as well! We love sharing the fun of gardening and giving back to the community.

Don't worry, we made him keep that piece of chard.

Tomato Tips for the Summer Heat!

Water in the evenings after the heat of the day for maximum absorption.
Add a thick layer of straw mulch to help the soil retain moisture and keep bugs at bay.
If you’ve planted marigolds around your tomatoes to help prevent bugs, remember to deadhead them as this will encourage new blooms.
Put up a shade cloth if you notice the leaves and flowers scalding.
Avoid fertilizing tomatoes when they are stressed by the heat.
When temps reach 90+ tomatoes tend to stop producing red pigments, so pick when orange. You can even pick fruit showing just a hint of color (leaving the stem attached) and leave them to ripen on your kitchen counter.

Please share this with gardeners in your life who might be interested!
