Someone suggested I should take photos at different times of these gardens.
That was a good idea, but there are hundreds of them (so it seems to me, no longer able to bend down for garden chores!)
Sharing with Skywatch Friday...there are lots of skies in these shots!
From one end of the garden looking south to the other end!
From the east side looking west to the shed where tools are kept.
Some plots have probably stood just as is all winter long.
Several people were working on their plots when I walked around March 22 afternoon. There may be many a frosty night before Mother's Day (second Sunday in May.) That's the guide date for our last frost...or it used to be. Wonder how it is these days.
Today's quote:
Animal factories are one more sign of the extent to which our technological capacities have advanced faster than our ethics. -Peter Singer, philosopher, professor of bioethics (b. 6 Jul 1946)
I think it is wonderful to have the community garden. If I remember correctly our frost date is later.
ReplyDeleteTake care, have a happy weekend!
May 8 is Mother's Day in the US. For the last few years mid April has been planting time here.
Delete...quite a minifarm.
ReplyDeleteEveryone donates some of the food raised to Bounty and Soul, which gives it away to those in need.
DeleteYes, the long weekend in May, here, I'm looking forward to planting.
ReplyDeleteGreat that you can plant early!
DeleteNice to see gardening started. Ground is still frozen deep down here which is causing problems on the dirt roads turning them into mud traps.
ReplyDeleteOh I hated living where roads melted and froze again and again! I didn't live in New England but a few years.
Deletei had a plot once. I lost interest. It fizzled. Very quickly.
ReplyDeleteWhen I lived in FL and was a student at UF in Gainesville, we had 2 garden plots. One was organic, and the other just anything goes. I didn't keep interested that well either, but used hay for mulch on both of them, so they did grow a few things.
DeleteThat really is quite a beautiful community garden.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I think I'll concentrate on sharing the growth in just a few of the plots, so I don't go crazy!
DeleteThese gardens are wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteThey are, and pretty definitely organic also.
DeleteCommunity gardens... what a wonderful idea! I don't know of any in my area. I'll have to do a bit of research.
ReplyDeleteCheck with local colleges, and any agricultural extensions, they will probably know if there are some.
DeleteThe community garden is a great idea. I used to belong to one a few years ago but then I moved.
ReplyDeleteThat's too bad, maybe you can help get one started where you live now.
DeleteOur frosts can still come late.
ReplyDeleteA short growing season does make it harder to grow a lot of things.
DeleteThat advice is such a great idea. I think I'm going to do that myself, first find a spot I can photograph.
ReplyDeleteWorth a Thousand Words
Good that you like that idea too!`
DeleteBeautiful skies in these pics.
ReplyDeleteWonderful.
ReplyDeleteGreetings and Salutations! Interesting.
