A month ago with the coming of spring, I realized that additional planting ground would be lovely. A balcony garden is all well and good until you see that it takes care of itself on an automated watering schedule.
I tried a couple of time to ask to become a member of the Westbury Community Garden, but no bueno. So finally I visited the garden itself, hoping a friendly member might be there already. And so it was! Unfortunately membership is closed, but maybe there could be an opening later in the summer? I volunteered just to rake and weed, gratis, if only to be among a plethora of vegetables, and maybe this could still pan out.

| An artichoke plant! Never seen such a thing before, let alone in Houston |

| Masses of tall swiss chard |

| A sea of dill |

| Young squashes growing, with clover as a ground cover (probably nitrogen-fixing). |
