On March 31, two employees who had been campaigning for a community garden for our office got the OK from our publisher and our garden was born. Initially about 30 people signed on to help create the garden, but as with all worthy projects, the number who’ve actually spent significant energy on the project is much smaller. The really cool thing about it, though, is that people helped out when they could help out, and somehow it all got done.

This is some of what the garden committee (of which I have been a nominal member – meaning, I watered once, weeded once and have done a lot of cheerleading) planted:

Giant Sunflowers
Kentucky Wonder beans
Dill
Cosmos (lovely chocolate-brown ones)
Popcorn
Country Gentleman Sweet Corn 
Yellow  Onion
Pole beans ‘Greasy Grits’
Bush BeanBean ‘Blue Lake’
Basil – ‘Herb Fine Verde’ (Which I hadn’t heard of before)
