Coffee Musings - 070507

I wish I was a gardener. I tried gardening through a community garden program, P-Patch, in Seattle, but it was a disaster. It was another lonely experience. I ate so few vegetables at the time I just didn't have anything I wanted to grow. I liked to work on the food-bank plot as it felt like I was doing something good for the community. I can definitely pull tomatillos and onions :) Pulling things - I can do that. It's the maintaining before the pulling that's a chore.

I was thinking of looking into community gardens in the DC area, but then I wondered, "Why?" I suck at gardening. It would still be lonely as I don't have anyone to garden with me. So, I guess I'll just have to make a concerted effort to patron local organic farms, join the coop when I have money, and maybe maybe one day I'll join a CSA. I would really need to know how to cook vegetables then. I don't know if CSAs cater to singles or only 4-person families. We'll see. It's way in the future.
