sort of a community garden idea

Would anyone be interested in helping work in our garden for a share of the produce?

We have a yard that's 24 by 32 and a WONDERFUL space for gardening. We are both challenged by physical health stuff (Fibromyalgia and 4 herniated discs) and don't get to do as much work out there as we'd like.

For now I guess it'd be preparing the yard for next summer, unless there's stuff you plant in the fall? squash? pumpkins? I don't know.


If you're able bodied and looking for some great, back to the land type exercise, give it a think.

I'm game. Although, not sure whats best to plant this late in the season. I think your idea of preparing for next year might be the best. Getting the soil tilled and amended with some good compost is probably a good bet. What's the plot like? Do you own it?

We rent and we're the only ones with access to the yard.

If you act quick, you can plant all your spring stuff right now, particularly things that will be harvestable in 45-70 days. (lettuce, beets, radish, carrots...anything that likes the cool temps.) Good luck.

kale, collards, all the salad greens too

so only one person interested? I'm not discounting BackInBrooklyn, but there's a LOT to be done.

I'd be interested, too. I don't know much about gardening but would love to learn!

i'm game; kale and collards are great will be harvestable up to and through frost

Subject: What the heck, takea chance...

We'll be working in the garden this saturday, from 2 on. Email me at wendyga at g mail dot com if you'd like the address. Again, anyone who helps can take home nasturtiums and anything else that successfully grew (we attempted peas, zucchini, strawberries and beans).


Come be social. I'll make some delicious snacks if I get any RSVPS.

We've got a some kale and collards going to waste at the Imani Garden at Dean and Schenectady. Private message me if you'd like some.
