OUR FOOD Project - I am so excited - I have a plot in our new Community Garden!!!

This is a video that I tried to share the other day on this blog, but for some reason, I could not "share"..just wouldn't work. I finally abandoned my efforts to do so. I have been wanting for a time to be part of a community garden & contacted a farm last year, but they did not have any openings, so I continued my search online. I decided to send off an email just to try to get some info. I received an email back right away and a phone call the next day putting me in touch with some folks who were just getting a new Community Garden going in my area. My name was put on a waiting list and apparently the interest was so great, it was felt that some people may have to share beds if need be. Didn't matter to me, I just wanted to be a part of it. Anyway, I received a phone call back yesterday saying that I had a plot - 6' x 12' for $10 per year....are you kidding me??? I went down and paid today and saw the carpenters hard at work building the raised beds and filling them with organic earth. The funny thing is, I was asked on the phone if I was on Facebook and if so, told to check out the new page on the BLT Community Garden. The video I had been trying to upload 2 days ago is the same one they have featured on their page.....so cool!!! I am pretty excited about the whole idea and can hardly wait to get planting & sharing.
