Community plots, like Fort Collins’ Garden of Eatin’, are sprouting up across the nation and producing fresh food and neighborly bonds. Article here.
I think this is a great trend and has many benefits:
The list could go on. I recently read an article about an urban garden proponnant who said whenever he walks through a city he sees all the places where people could be growing their own produce. Since I heard that I have been doing the same in DC. So many problems can be solved by such a simple solution.

I would love to have my own little plot. They are actually relatively cheap to rent for the year, but I believe there is a bit of a waiting list here in DC. My friend Belinda blogged about similar ventures in NYC, http://www.zomppa.com/2009/05/05/little-garden-in-the-big-apple/

At least you have that nice balcony. If you were not traveling I would suggest you get a couple of nice planters and grow some herbs and tomatoes for all your Italian needs!

Very cool! Meeting our neighbors? What a foreign concept!
Speaking of gardens and walking around DC… how’s the first lady’s organic garden coming along?
