Planting at the Knox Street Community Garden

After much preperation in the Knox Street Garden in Lewiston over the past few weeks, Wednesday was the big planting day. While some crops were already in the ground, the favorites, peppers and tomatoes were brought in by the staff from St Mary's Nutrition Centers Lots to Gardens program Wednesday afternoon. There are 27 plots in this garden, one of many throughout the city that local families plant and tend to all summer long. Rukiyo Hussein, 15, of Lewiston, sweeps dirt around a pepper plant she just planted.
