P-Patch

I am back at Shiga's Garden after several years of hiatus. The community garden is closing in November, which makes a convenient short term commitment for my ever shifting life circumstances. In the meantime I can garden on lunch breaks.

The previous gardener left behind chard, strawberries, volunteer raspberries, rhubarb and violas - which I now get to harvest. Perhaps I will make strawberry raspberry rhubarb pie for an upcoming community potluck! Rhubarb is harvested earlier than the berries, so I may make a sauce to freeze for now.

Also feeling grateful for the structure already in place at the garden. Tools available in the community shed, as well as climbing apparatus for growing peas. I do not have to carry anything to the garden except seeds, which creates ease for simply showing up and doing work. Though I barely have time to for this little project, I need practice in growing food; re-prioritizing will be worth it. Wonderful learning ahead.
