Two community gardens in Rockford, Wash., promise to reward gardeners with an abundance of fresh vegetables again this year.

The garden at Lake and Maple has seventy-five tomato plants, including several species, multiple species of green peppers, and egg plant. On the grounds next to the Catholic Church at the corner of River and Pacific, three varieties of squash -- Peter Pan, Butternut and Spaghetti; potatoes, cucumbers, green beans, spinach, parsley, bunching onions, carrots, beets, peas, corn, lettuce and radishes are grown.

Congratualtions to Rockford folks for these fine contributions to their community's well-being. Both gardens are a pleasure to see and a credit to the town.
