Damn. I had a lot of fun in this dusty, dirty, and sometimes muddy little patch. While the garden hibernates under a blanket of snow, I look forward to getting together with those who made it what it was to talk about the good times we had during our first season and to plan our adventures for the next one. I propose such a get-together over hot toddies. Or over cold drinks in a warm place.
My highlights:
New friends
New community connections
The overall transformation from derelict lot to fruitful garden
Salvaging of artifacts
Great yields
Many meals from the produce
Momentous meals at the garden with family and friends
Excercise
Limestone steps
Grass bench
Cinderblock rain barrel structure
Maggot the cat
Kenya the dog
Fourth of July
Snow
Knowing that we made a real effort to appreciate what we had while knowing that there are no guarantees for the future.
Beautiful memories, indeed
