Garden 05 Community Garden

Know your neighbor.
This is a way-​nice spot to get a garden plot. Having come from the burbs with a more controlled environment I was really concerned about quality of the soil, critters, etc. Overall, I was really impressed with my bounty, as well as the other gardeners around me. I amended my soil with compost from Kompost Kids (who has a community compost bin at this location) but others did not and seemed to have no issue.
I was able to maximize my plot and harvested more than I could consume with a great variety of plants: green beans, carrots, beets, brussels sprouts, broccoli, squash, sweet potatoes, eggplant, peppers, tomatoes, kale, greens and endless herbs.
The first few months were a lot of work. I used weed barrier but still had to fight with «native» plants like Tomatillo, ground tomatoes and horseradish. Watering is a good workout, I hauled countless 5 gallon buckets from a hydrant across the street.
It was great to meet others in the neighborhood, some whom have had plots in this spot for 10+ years. I look forward to returning next year.
Plot size is 20×20 and runs $ 25 for the year, May thru October.
