The First United Methodist Church’s Community Cafe had some special menu items Jan. 4 — two 32-pound Calabaza squashes.
Delivered by members of the Plant City Commons Garden, the vegetables were two of six that grew on a huge vine. The vine occupies a 10-foot-by-15-foot area of the garden, located at 309 N. Carey St.
“The vine had a mind of its own,” member Karen Elizabeth says. “A vine that big — it grew wherever it wanted.”
The two squashes were volunteered to be donated by Harry West, a member of the garden and also a kitchen assistant at Christ’s Community Cafe, which serves food to the needy, the elderly and those looking for fellowship every Friday. The gardeners didn’t plant the squash. Instead, the vine sprouted from a pile of compost prepared in mid-September. Two gardeners each took one squash home.
Two more squashes still are available. The Plant City Commons Garden would like to donate the squash to any organization that serves food to those in need.
