Guerrilla Gardening

Had a wonderful afternoon 'guerrilla gardening' with friends and members of our church. It is such a simple thing. All you have to do is identify some disused Gardens, abandoned houses in your area (there are several on our small street) then get some tools and some people and get gardening. The first thing we did was do some serious street cleaning. This helps get local people on your side, and hopefully, draws more of the neighbours into the process. After we had cleaned up several nuisance gardens, we felt able to dig up a disused garden, preparing it for the planting of potatoes early in the spring. Cat, my wife, is planning a herb garden in another of the gardens we have cleaned up.

All the things we plant will be available to people on the street. I really hope that this will catch on, as its such a simple way of building community, and growing locally produces food.
