urban gardens and eyeglasses

This summer, we have the privilege of assisting my co-worker/friend and her husband (Pam and Marty) with their garden plot. Baltimore City has a few urban gardens and one happens to be located a block down from where I work. It's a really swell program. You pay about $30 to rent the plot, and the city provides the dirt/compost and all the rakes and shovels necessary. It's also fully gated, which is a nice surprise, but it's not like there are any deer who would just wander in and eat everything like they would in upstate New York (where we had our last garden).

Anyway, we're excited to grow some of our own food and learn gardening tricks from Pam and Marty, who are very knowledgeable.

In other news, Tim's eye-prescription changed, so he had to get some new glasses (and I got to pick them out). They're so old-fashioned, aren't they?

  1. Those are cool glasses!! I always wanted old-fashioned looking glasses. And I like how they are tortoise shell. -Kelsie
