| Description | An update of the Cleveland Press "Dig In!" campaign "to promote home and community gardening" and four photos of active gardeners. The first captioned photo reads: "Our First Crop --Judy Acuri, 8, of Douglas MacArthur School, shows some of the radishes harvested this week out of the demonstration garden in front of The Press -- our first crop so far.** Helping Judy tend the garden that day were her schoolmates Fred Goltermann, 10, Larry Balough, 10; and Nancy Fotica, 11. The picket fence was made by industrial arts at Lincoln West High School."**There is a small children's garden planted in front of the Cleveland Press building that is maintained by students in the Cleveland Public schools gardening program. The caption below the second image (lower left) reads: "Adopted Garden -- "H. J. C. Minch of Parma looks on as Mrs. Albina Capek, who lives nearby, shows some of the tomatoes she is growing on a garden plot which Minch donated in his back yard. Mrs. Capek, of 6907 Ridgewood Avenue., also grows lettuce, cucumbers, beets, carrots, onions, and green beans, with the help of her husband Henry and their twin eight-year-old grandsons Craig and Gregg. She said they have already eaten some of their lettuce, and it was, 'very good.'" Caption for photo upper right: "After: A Big Garden -- What was that empty lot at 2190 E. 35th St. in May is now in July a big, green garden. Jeffrey Johnson and his family have planted corn, collard greens, green beans, potatoes, onions, radishes and okra in their plot. They expect to get their first harvest of beans soon. (Press photo by Bill Nehez)" Caption for photo in lower right:
"Before: A Vacant Lot -- The rototiller in the foreground of this picture taken in May is the only clue that this vacant lot at 2190 East 35th St., between Cedar and Central Aves., was to become a flourishing garden. This is one of the vacant city-owned lots donated for gardening by Mayor Perk through The Press' Dig In gardening campaign. This lot was planted by Jeffrey Johnson of 2192 East 35th St. (Press photo by Van Dillard)" |
