Community Garden

We interrupt this regularly scheduled program to bring you what I meant to post months ago!

.........

With gardening on the slow time of year, I'll fill in the emptiness with some other content.
Let me take you back to the fall...

One of the benefits of being a part of a community garden is getting to see the other gardens!

Our community garden is pretty enormous, I think. (I don't have much experience with them, actually.)

So one day, at the end of the season, I took a walk and decided to share some of the loveliness that I saw...

(Disclaimer: I did not get permission from my fellow gardeners before taking or posting these, so if you've stumbled upon this blog and happen to see your garden...well...uh...sorry? But it's only here because it's truly impressive!!)

Gorgeous flowers still in bloom...

...in abundance!

And then there are those with truly impressive gardens - either very large or with incredible trellises or other structures or just beautifully producing...

Some have a lovely mix of edibles and flowers...

And then there's the gardener with the outhouse toolshed. Well done, my friend - well done!

 And then there's our neighbor, just a few plots away. We watched this corn grow...and grow....and GROW!
Garden plot partner getting increasingly jealous and me getting increasingly horrified...corn shouldn't be this tall! It's not natural!
Definitely where the children of the corn come from, no doubt...

I placed my orange bucket right next to it for scale...it's insane!

So even when our plot doesn't do super well, it's fun to be part of this little community cheering each other on and getting inspired by seeing what the "veterans" are capable of.

I know return you to our regularly scheduled SPRING!!!!
