Let the Season Begin
No matter that the last of the snow only melted off the community garden last week and that it is a soggy mudhole.
Community gardening is in the air!
Government officials are signing off on garden leases, insurers are divining risk and preparing certificates of insurance. Gardeners are nursing along sprouting seeds in paper cups under lights in their basements.
April 1 was the first Saturday signup. Four gardeners braved the early April raw cold to scout out plots and stake their claims.
Why does one plot get selected over another?
- Less preparation work
- Better looking soil
- Location closer to water and/or garden entry
- Neighbors
- Just feel good about this one
- The previous tenant grew organic
- Better fence ¶ 6:37 PM
