Katxena's Plot #79 garden

Garden Type: Community | Sun: Full Sun | Soil: Combination I'm Organic!

This garden has been archived.

A community garden plot that I’m sharing with my friend L*. It’s 20×25 feet (~6×7.5 meters). My 2008 garden was 32 square feet — at 500 square feet, the community plot is over 10 times larger. I’m a bit overwhelmed!!

    not really. I live on a military post. We are not allowed to grow any food in our yard because they spray. I have to drive 2 miles, past the commisary, to get there. There is actually a sign out front of the garden with “Victory Garden” and the dedication date (spring 07). Part of that sign is the main photo of my Victory Garden here. :)
