One of the last harvests of 2024
Temperatures in Long Island are dropping; going down to the
40's at night.
However, our JHS vegetable garden's plants have been resilient
and this week, we harvested eggplants, green peppers, hot
peppers, and tomatoes. They were donated to Guru Nanak
Darbar of Long Island, a Sikh Gurudwara (a place of workship) in Hicksville, NY that provides free meals to devotees 365 days a year​
