Community Garden

My neighbor Kristen bought an abandoned property behind our houses and had the house razed.

The ground was levelled, and leftover bricks were used to make plots on the land. Hey presto, community garden.

I did a little work, clearing some of the land, and shifting some soil from plot to plot.

I'm not a natural gardner, but it's heartening to see the fruits of my labor appear: pea shoots, cilantro and spinach leaves. Susan added basil and other herbs and tomatoes.

I'm looking forward to reaping our first bounty. Photos to come.

At last, you're back! Long time no new recipes to try. :-) No idea what arugula is, but anyway, thanks for the vocab help on tin/ can. Hope you enjoy growing your own, I thought you already did that?! Our peas are almost ready, yum. The hardest part is stopping the boys from just eating them straight from the pod.
