Community garden in February

 

United Plant Savers...member of UpS Botanical Sanctuary

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.

    Hello,
    Soon 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.

    It'll be a couple of months before any gardening can be done here.

    It would be interesting to take a series of pictures of the community garden as it develops over the coming months.

      OK, 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.

    I like seeing the community garden there. I look forward to seeing all the changes and growth when spring comes.

    Community gardens are such a fine idea.

    I 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.
