That, and after the girl busted her balloon on a piece of chicken wire, the walk couldn't end soon enough. We were getting stink eye from a few gardeners.Ribbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01460673212389110633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930778534030920874.post-43110704481509850932009-07-27T20:52:18.419-04:002009-07-27T20:52:18.419-04:00Granny, the town down the road just started a comm...Granny, the town down the road just started a community garden. It's off the road so you can't see it when you drive by, but I've been itching to check it out. I'd rent a space there for my items needing more sun, but their prices are a bit ridiculous.<br /><br />Momma_S, powdery mildew is a destroyer. My melon just won't taste right and the whole plant gets diseased. Stinks, but it makes more room for fall plants!Ribbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01460673212389110633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930778534030920874.post-14104994719541555532009-07-27T20:50:25.080-04:002009-07-27T20:50:25.080-04:00Erin, it was great fun.

It's one of the few past times that people can really connect over. I would have loved to talk at length with those gardeners. I bet they had so much they could have shared.Ribbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01460673212389110633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930778534030920874.post-25041080120226315942009-07-27T18:03:46.555-04:002009-07-27T18:03:46.555-04:00How great that you got to squeeze in a few communi...How great that you got to squeeze in a few community garden visits.

I guess most of us have large enough yards to have our own, but I drive by retirement complexes and see people just sitting, with nothing to do....they need a garden!Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930778534030920874.post-18962691968527466312009-07-27T10:16:35.094-04:002009-07-27T10:16:35.094-04:00How fun!How fun!Tonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07251147737253912516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930778534030920874.post-48658545004813548232009-07-27T09:13:16.478-04:002009-07-27T09:13:16.478-04:00Oh, I love community gardens!

A bunch of my friends got one this summer and are planning a series of garden parties once the plants grow a bit. Also, there was a really nice one at the retirement community next to my apartment complex in Maryland. It was on my running route, and it was very nice to see the residents, many of whom had lived in houses with yards until moving to the home, were still able to maintain a garden. You could really tell how much love they put into their plots!<br /><br />- EmilyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930778534030920874.post-1640925669744427542009-07-27T09:00:07.362-04:002009-07-27T09:00:07.362-04:00What gorgeous gardens!
