I do have a yard to garden in, but I may not always, and I have the same concerns you do about community gardens. On the other hand, I hear they're great places to learn from other gardeners, and lots of tools are provided. I’m curious how it will work out for you.

I'd need a community garden even for that, since all that I have working is a sad, small basil plant. The only problem with container gardening is that there’s no place to put the containers!

Which you might actually prefer for your herbs. Zuccini - not so much. LOL Well, if all else fails, there’s always container gardening. Which you might actually prefer for your herbs.

Hopefully it will be a place where people can meet, too... sort of like Blotanical! It sounds like fun. :) Best, Philip Hi,

And as you said...I may surprise myself! Scott, that's an interesting point about having less pests than in your own yard -- hadn't thought about that. I wonder if that will bear out here? Regardless, interesting point... Sorry to hear you had to give up your plot, but I hope you find a new one! Tyra, oh, I’ll try anything once, too. And as you said…I may surprise myself!

I too wondered about how well I'd like not having a garden out the back door. I must say it worked pretty well. Because the community garden was pesticide free the eco system was complete and I had less pests than when I was gardening in my own backyard. I went almost every other day, but skipping some trips. I picked herbs once a week, took them home and washed them. Then kept them ready to use in the fridge. People traded seeds and tips which was fun. Sometimes they'd share their bounty, although not often. You'll adjust and love it. I just left my community garden after almost two years, due to my move.

It is no harm done trying. I actually have one community garden on the other side of my road and it looks as if they are enjoying themself :-) Tyra Hi, I fully understand what you mean but ‘I’ll try anything once’ perfaps you love it.
