The other day I walked around the Community Gardens in Black Mountain NC. It was windy and cold (in the 30-40s).
The only other people were busy flinging little Frisbees playing Frisbee golf! Several groups!
Approaching from the parking area above the gardens, it looks like a graveyard.There are some Frisbee golfers in the foreground, I-40 traffic on the Interstate, but I was more interested in the clouds forming over the mountains of the Blue Ridge. Interesting how miles of view are compressed by the iPhone camera!
I should have switched to video, as the wind whipped the plastic covers around.

...looking out my window, gardening looks a long ways off.
ReplyDeleteSunshine is still balanced by cold air.
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteSoon the garden will be alive with people and plants growing. Love the mountain view.
Have a great day!
At least sometime after Mother's Day, for our last freeze date...though they didn't wait till then last year.
DeleteI am sure that the garden will soon look a titch better. 😀
ReplyDeleteNext month, probably.
DeleteIt'll be a couple of months before any gardening can be done here.
ReplyDeleteLast frost is usually an important date.
DeleteIt would be interesting to take a series of pictures of the community garden as it develops over the coming months.
ReplyDeleteOK, I can go over there to walk every week or so...then boom, as soon as it's warm, it will change almost daily! But it is a fun thing to walk the paths right in the gardens, not for exercise but to check out what's been planted.
DeleteI like seeing the community garden there. I look forward to seeing all the changes and growth when spring comes.
ReplyDeleteCommunity gardens are such a fine idea.
ReplyDeleteI belonged to a community garden a few years ago and then covid showed up. Had lots of fun and great vegetables, I miss that. We don't have one here where we live now.
ReplyDeleteThere's one near me that looks just like this!
