Default Open source work garden planted out

I made a significant planting in the workplace garden I have been working on
for 6 months. A cherry tomato plant went in today to match the sweet corn
and parmanent mandarin tree.

The ground is old builders fill. The 'garden' is heaps of leaves, coffee
grounds, bits of paper, fruit peels, weeds etc mulched down with the help of
some worms. I don't expect a great harvest from it this summer.

Its first mission is to be a show garden. To demonstrate to people that and
piece of land can be productive and that urban gardening can take place
almost anywhere. And perhaps to inspire some people to give it a try
themselves.

It will also serve as an open source garden. I will kick it off & keep it
tended but others may like to plant in it.

Finally the produce will be open source as well. If people in the building
take home the odd tomato or the odd mandarin, thats fine.
