seeds, seeds, seeds ..

i'm reading this delightfull book right now, which a fellow community gardener lent me .. it's called gardening at the dragon's gate - at work in the wild and cultivated world .. a wonderful book, which i highly recommend, and i'm only into the first chapter .. a woman after my own heart, wendy johnson says "gardening is all about picking and choosing and following your passion" .. seems to me that's part of what we were doing saturday morning ..

a dozen gardeners gathered around pushed-together tables at beacon house .. brought together to, perhaps, follow a passion for our community garden .. the purpose of the gathering, to imagine what the garden might hold for us this year in the way of vegetables .. it was a dreaming session .. "picking and choosing" ideas of vegetables we'd like to munch on in the coming summer .. imagining picking fresh veggies during the winter .. tossing a variety of ideas into our midst .. and, in the end, writing down the names of three vegetables we each want to eat this summer .. and winter .. in a manner of speaking, we are following our passion as we find ourselves working together to create this year's garden .. 

during this week a list will materialize with all of our chosen veggies included .. then, on  saturday, february 6th, we'll gather again at 10:00 a.m. at beacon house to start filling in the picture that we are creating together .. it just all seems like fun, to me ..
