the plot
the work
the planting
the dancing
and of course the slip and slide
the garden
Our neighbor Celeste has an enormous back yard, that has been screaming to us that it needed a garden. One day last week things just happened: first she came over to visit our chickens and saw our raised beds and liked what we had done. I asked her if she would like to have a shared garden in her back yard. To my surprise she was extremely excited about the idea. So that weekend we headed over to start the work and by the end of the weekend we had 4 tomatoes, 2 butternut squashes, 2 peppers, basil, green onions and 15 bush bean plants planted. It was a great experience for us and the kids. We've been watering and checking on it everyday. and to my surprise this little garden has brought two neighbors closer. I enjoy spending time with her and hearing stories about her life. I think she is enjoying it as well, she has plans to make plant signs and put in a border.
