Community gardens
We've been on the hunt for a community garden so that next year we can take our container gardening up a notch. Though gardening on the back porch has been fun (and rather convenient), I'm ready to move on to something bigger and better. Recently, we found a community garden that we like the sound of, and have volunteered with them a few times. As of now we're on the wait list for one of their plots, but I heard through the grapevine that we'll for sure get a plot. YAY! I can't wait to help care for the main garden, and tend to my very own plot.
It's so nice to know that I'll have something to plan for over the winter, making the long, dark and cold months go by faster. I'm already thinking about what seeds I'll order!
Do any of you garden in a community garden? What's it like?

Congrats, on your new adventure, it will be a process of fun learning. Save those veggie scraps, free dirt is always green and very much needed for all plants to grow. Saving seeds, is a wonderful thing,they produce better. I even let brocolli, go to seed and let it produce, it's own babies, next year, best brocolli, I've ever grown.
Be happy to let you know what I have learned, growing in the dirt, to me, is alot of work, but what I love to do, just wish I had more time.
So, til, we chat again, happy gardening! JustThoughtsByCin

My brother owns a couple of acres of land, so we (the family) grow produce and flowers. We all have our own little corner to care for, but share the tools, work and knowledge. It's a competition to who will have the biggest, most colorful ect... I think it's a lot of fun.
