Community Garden at Pingree Park

I'm excited to hear of the community garden initiative at Pingree Park.  Interested in gardening? You can order The Beginner's Guide to Heirloom Vegetables - It will get you excited to get started.  Another handy title is Growing a Garden City: how farmers, first graders, counselors, troubled teens, foodies, a homeless shelter chef, single mothers, and more are transforming themselves and their neighborhoods through the intersection of local agriculture and community--and how you can, too / Jeremy N. Smith

I ordered seeds on Saturday from High Mowing Organic Seeds in Vermont and was dismayed to discover that the long pie pumpkin seeds were unavailable due to a crop failure.  I'm saving seed from the pumpkins that I grew last year and still have stored at home.

All agriculture is susceptible to the vagaries of weather conditions etc. We can't take our food for granted.  Perhaps you'll consider a community garden plot!  If you are interested, fill out the survey at http://www.hwgreen.org/.
