The plot ravaged on the right.The perils of community gardening.
OK, I've calmed down. this morning after walking Georgia and
gulping some coffee I headed to the garden. I was armed with seeds, yogurt lids for plant labels a stake for a plot label, scissors.I had nice patches of arugula, lettuce and chard in this plot someone ripped it all out.
Last week I cleared the middle of this plot and planted turnips, mustard greens, chard and radishes. I covered it with agrocloth anchored by bricks stones and a window sash weight - urban garden you know.
Yesterday, Georgia and I walked down to pick lettuce and it was all gone. Who knows who did it no one fessed up so far.

I'm past it
I replanted, labeled everything. I anchored the cloth that I found bunched up under a chunk of sidewalk concrete. Then I used my curlycew tomato stakes as decorative element at intervals all over the plot.

Fortunately, I have the other plot.
This I planted on that one warm February day and covered with agrocloth. There is a lot of red russian kale, various lettuces, radicchio and of course, arugula. I could live on arugula and
parmesan cheese!Close up of plot 22 called Chris.
Dinner was garlic sauteed dandelion and chickweed quesadillas with green chile tomatillo salsa. Did I mention that I just returned from New Mexico?
