Harvesting veggies
Photo by Shelley Grieshop/The Daily Standard

Nicholas Wehrman, 7, of Coldwater, pulls a red beet from his family's rented garden plot as his mother, Janelle, supervises Tuesday afternoon. This is the first year for Coldwater's community garden project, which allowed residents to rent 25-foot-by-25-foot tracts along Sycamore Street for $20. Due to high demand, more sections are planned next year.
