A great day for gardening!

Saturday, April 4, was the beginning of our new garden community. Thanks to the just launched garden matching service, Urban Garden Share, we're now sharing our yard with three additional gardeners (five including partners/spouses).

These three join my partner, Forrest, and me, along with Shiv, who lives across the street and has been sharing our space for years, and Ben, who recently moved in next door. We're all excited - in addition to our individual plots, we've decided to create a shared "squash patch" - where we'll grow zucchini, pumpkins, and hopefully both summer and winter squash (at appropriate times, of course).

I'll post pictures as the garden progresses. Meanwhile, it's just about time for lilacs and bluebells to flower - a splash of color in no time!
