The BCSO vegetable garden is finished and the inmates who planted it are hoping their collective green thumbs will compensate for the less than ideal soil conditions. The ground's a bit rocky but everyone's believing the garden will produce a virtual cornucopia of cucumbers, squash, okra, green beans and big red tomatoes. Of course, the purpose of the garden is so inmates can benefit from fresh, home-grown vegetables while enjoying their stay at the luxurious Bradley County jail. Sheriff Tim Gobble and Capt. Gabe Thomas - two old-school farm hands - bring us up to speed on the garden's progress as of the last week of May 2008, and what we can expect come harvest time.
