To all those who spent the spring and summer voting for our community garden video,

imagining "palm tree clippings" in my compost pile someday...

Congratulations Joe! A wonderful new opportunity with the big clean slate.

 
Actually palms are a PITA! They sprout like weeds and grow incredibly fast

and they're so thorny you need to hire a professional to trim them. The pros don't like to grind up the fronds because it dulls the blades on the chipper, so they want to charge extra to haul it away whole. I was very fortunate to find a cooperative tree trimmer.

I know they seem exotic to others but to me they're just an invasive species, lol.

Richard, I envy your hardwood forests. Count your blessings!

 
that morning vote always started my day. fun times. congrats Joe. wish the article had mentioned

the award. I hope someone comments on the article to mention the extra funding.

 
Bravo. When does the next garden start? (on California time) Our daffs

are already up here and thoughts turning to gardens again. Flowers in gardens of others, not quite the same as seeing those veggies I tended. I will have to enjoy my former garden vicariously through your successes.

 
Oh geez. Of course there are. I drive by them all the time and don't think of me.

Thanks Ang. I'll look into this. (I left 35 years of accumulated gardening tools behind for the new owners. Ack!)

 
They probably have some communal tools smileys/wink.gif The gardeners and I really enjoy the social aspect

of it. Originally I joined because I had no sun in my back yard, but now so many of my current group of friends are people I met in the garden.

Seattle has the highest community garden plot-per-capita rate in the U.S. I have to assume the trend has spilled across the border.
