Default Grow A Little Extra This Year If You Can! Help A Neighbor :)


The food bank would be a good option indeed. We have a homeless shelter
about 20 miles away that might be interested in some veggies. I also
like the idea of a barter system with the neighbors. I done that last
year with the neighbor right next door. The only problem is the fact
that we live in town and very few neighbors put out gardens here. There
are quite a few professionals in our town, lawyers, doctors, college
professors etc. I guess many of these folks have very little need for a
vegetable garden or don't really want to rip up a spot on their well
manicured properties to put one in. Me, I'm just the opposite! I
figure what good is a back yard if it can't give you something in
return!
