One Man's Community Garden


--by mindyjourney, posted Aug 16, 2021
Jeff has been putting a lot of time and effort into keeping our little community garden watered and protected from deer.

“I plant all this stuff because I just like to grow things,” he said, with that Texas drawl. “Go ahead and thin the carrots and take what you want. Be sure to get some peas too. I don’t know what I’m going to do if all those pumpkins come in…” I assured him that I’d make him a pie and bread.

Just look at those sweet beets! The first time we are growing and our crop is coming in well! Unfortunately, I’m the ONLY one in the family that likes them, so I’ll be sharing those with friends. With a combined effort in gardening, we learn to grow not only tasty fresh veggies but further friendships.

Tomorrow is the area’s annual garden tour. We’ve invited a few friends and family to ride with us who might not otherwise go because of the drive. Everything is just better shared, don’t you think???

Looking forward to learning a few gardening tips, meeting new folks, and marveling at how folks can get anything to grow out here!
