Join Community Harvest of Southwest Seattle on the Fourth Annual Edible Garden Tour. The Tour will

sources will be on display – showcasing everything from heirloom varietals to how-to get heat-loving

plants to thrive in our cool climate. From large plots to small spaces, the Tour allows gardeners to learn,

I find this last bit interesting. I heard a rumor that COWS wanted SSCC (whose property they use) to kill raccoons in the area so that their fruit would not be tampered with. Any truth to this?
