Community Garden

Out of the blue I got an email the other day. "You may not remember signing up for a community garden plot almost 3 years ago, but one just became available if you still want it." Heck, yeah!

So, $50 later I have a 300 square foot community garden plot in Arlington. I'm so excited! I have my seeds ordered and I've been working on clearing it out so I can get it tilled. I'll be planting several varieties of heritage tomatoes, lettuce, peas, melons and as an experiment, artichokes. I'm also going to grow sweet peas since I think the flowers are pretty.

And I've signed up for the CSA program from Great Country Farms again. I'm counting the weeks until pickup starts and especially until Strawberry Jubilee at the end of May!

So cool! I am excited for you! I just planted some seeds in peat pods with the kids this morning. Will you be taking pictures? I suck at gardening, maybe you can give me some tips!
