How does your garden grow?

Jake DuVall's is growing quite well, thank you. The rising fifth grader at Greenfield Elementary has quite a thriving produce business on his hands. He not only grows vegetables, he also delivers -- such as to regular customer Theo Evans.

We deliver, too. Each week, we deliver The Botetourt View to more than 90 percent of the households in Botetourt -- and we deliver a whole lot more right here online.

Want more photos from Jake's garden? We've got an entire gallery you can check out.
