Early one Saturday morning, I showed up at a community garden meeting to sign up for my very own 10x10 garden plot :) It was suggested to me by a few friends who already had their own plot. Getting to the meeting early paid off, because there is usually a wait list for plots to be distributed at community gardens around the island. Thankfully I was the first one there to sign an application & get my spot on the wait list. Luckily for me, there were a few plots given out that day... but the best part was that I got the exact plot I had eyed up before the meeting! Plot #19 was now mines, sitting in a shady spot under a banyan tree, it was perfect! For a measly $20 membership fee per year, which included water, what a deal! Now I had the opportunity to grow my own flowers, produce, almost anything I wanted. After spending money on simple items such as green onions and cilantro at the farmer's market the last few years, I finally decided to give my own gardening skills a try!
And so the clean up commenced, before the gardening could start! Some fun, fun, fun in the sun is to come....
