Fairhaven's Community Garden

I'm growing vegetables in a neighborhood shared gardening spot owned by the Parks Department. The rent is $18/year. One must keep up the space and garden organically. There are 34 spots, each 10x20, separated by cement blocks. There's a tool shed with shovels and rakes, pitchforks and wheelbarrels. There are several water spigets and shared plants: plum trees, rhubard, and flowers. Some folks have more than one plot--and have been gardening there for years. The plots are hard to come by, and if one opens up, the potential gardener must stand in line on January first at 8 a.m. to secure it. For me, there were four spots available, and four folks standing in line. I was one of them and although my soil is bad and needs lots of tender care, I consider myself lucky.
