How does your garden grow? Ballinger Community Garden

By Joyce Lingerfelt

The Ballinger Community Garden has been a gathering place for many of the gardeners this year. 

Some of us try to spend Wednesday evenings sharing a meal or just sitting in the garden on these beautiful Seattle evenings. The garden is growing friendships as well as vegetables. 

The garden provides a place for discussing what to grow, how much water to use, composting, thinking, imagining and visioning what flowers we want in the spring, as well as the shape of the 2012 beds. 

Along with these friendships, we have taken over 20 pounds of organically grown fresh produce to Hopelink Foodbank. Hopefully, we will have another month of good gardening weather. 

It has been a "good growing year."
