OMG! I just found out we got a plot in the new community garden in our neighborhood. Holy Shit! I am SO excited.
It's one of my goals, you see. That list (that I just realized I still haven't published---oops) of goals I've made for myself for the next three years--a three year plan of sorts. One of these goals is that I really want to learn how to grow some of my own food (as well as preserve it). So I am just giddy over this surprising new development! I mean, this plot is like GOLD in Chicago. There aren't many community garden plots that stipulate organic gardening requirements and let you grow food. AAAAAHHHH!
Am I worried that I have NO IDEA what I'm doing? That I've never grown so much as a weed successfully? And I have to start Sunday? Nope. I'm just envisioning a large bounty of plump heirloom tomatoes and gorgeous bell peppers--maybe some herbs. OOoooh....melons....can I do melons? It's a pretty big plot...
So, even though I am nowhere near getting to the topics of "Adventure", "Recreation", or "Education", I think they just dropped into my lap. May not seem like much of an adventure to anyone else, it is to me.
So exciting!....
They probably wouldn't allow a fruit tree, right?
