want to start a virtual community garden?
lately i've been thinking quite a bit about allocating the portion of my apartment balcony that gets afternoon sunlight to growing a small vegetable garden. because that area is tiny, the best way for me to maximize space would be to use upside-down planters and window box planters mounted on railing brackets. i have no idea what my yield will be, but i'm anticipating an overabundance from at least the hanging plants. which brings me to the point of this posting....
i'd love to find other east bay/san francisco mini-gardeners and apartment gardeners who are interested in starting a virtual community garden. we could jointly plan what we're each going to grow, and then meet periodically to divvy up the fruits...er, veggies of our labour. in this way we can each get more variety from our mini-gardening efforts, minimize waste, and reduce our individual grocery bills.
so, what say you? any of you locals interested in doing something like this?
