On a domestic note, I planted my garden last weekend. I have a small area that I share with my neighbors that I would like to eventually convert in it's entirety to a mini community garden. For now, I am using about a third of the space to grow tomatoes, beets, eggplant, cantelope, pumpkin and banana peppers. My friend George came over and helped me clear the area of weeds and start a compost pile, then later, my friend Meghan helped me cultivate the soil and plant the seeds and starter plants. The doggies were as monumental in little garden helpers as the mimosas were in refreshment. Check out the pictures to see the transformation.
