    After picking one quarter of this week's crop of organically grown green beans, and realizing he already had far too many, today head gardener (and Delbarton headmaster) Br. Paul Diveny set up an Abbey produce stand. The Delbarton community is invited to shop from a selection of just-picked, organically grown beans, tomatoes, peppers, zucchini. The stand, adjacent to the one acre fenced garden at the South Gate Fields, will be open throughout the season and offer a rotating cop of vegetables. The garden began last winter when Br. Paul started seedlings at the Abbey and finished them off in the Science Pavilion greenhouse. Read all about the vegetables' organic origins here. Anyone interested in helping to pick crops is invited to contact the head gardener. This week Connor Buckley '11 volunteered to lend a hand, and all assistance is greatly appreciated.
