The community garden is doing very well, in February just before i left, the garden was a buzz with 'tenants' who were just making raised beds, planting cold weather crops and generally turning a vacant (donated) lot into a wonderful four letter word - FOOD -!!!
note the Cloches around the corn!The greenhouse 4 miles away was the concept of a different group of folks, who banded together, built a sizable greenhouse and have built raised beds and are continuing to build more beds which will surround the greenhouse... and they have a created a very prolific array of veggies!!
the seeds looked like some kind of brassicas but not sure..
this next set of 3 pictures is because i couldn't fit all of the 'lean-to' in one picture.. but it was built a few years ago, and was the original 'greenhouse', it's a delightful area filled with herbs and veggies... very warm and inviting... i just wish that i could have shown what it really is like!
the real Master!!The Master Gardener - Demonstration and & Community Garden is something that hadn't been started before i left and i'm not sure of the details... i just know that there are a lot of potatoes and different kinds, and it seems different growing techniques...

Ok, that's it I'm packing up and moving to Yachats Oregon.Wow! I don't think there is but one home garden per thousand where we live. It's hard for me to imagine such a small community having so big an interest in gardening...there is hope.:)
I think those brassica seeds belong to arugula. Arugula has slightly fatter pods and lighter brown colored seeds when compared to other brassica seeds.
yachats is a lovely community, and with the economic down turn here, people seemed to get together and really do things... i have more pics of another greenhouse, personal one, from some people who are trying to 'organize' a potluck get together/share experiences re: greenhouses/gardens and mushroom farming!!
