I recently acquired a plot in a community garden that has many
walks of life as part of their community…huge stalks of corn, okra
and grape vines…tomatoes, cabbage …it provides for me a sense
of indestructable abundance…I feel as if I really have enough
even though my plot is only a small part of the garden, and I
began late in the year. Still, I have spices, parsely, oregano,
basil, a few tomatoes (the plot next to mine had so many that I
got an over flow from his crop), chili peppers, zuchinni and some
water melons…marigolds, and the fiction from a neighboring gardener is that I can still plant and harvest spinache. I feel well.

This is great. It’s wonderful to see young people getting hip to this. It’s amazing what you can do with pots on a stoop, secured window boxes, small plot, etc. You CAN grow greens, small tomatoes, peppers. It’s rewarding and healthier food.for you.
Kudos to those who set this up. We need more of these.
