Your words describing the beginnings of your beautiful garden(love the fava bean pic) describe an organic community garden I belong to in Costa Mesa, CA that has been in place four seasons. The city council two weeks voted 3-1 to destroy it for mixed use properties. This garden has been part of a small beginning to preserve open space, with the practical use of allowing apartment dwellers some space of their own. I shall keep in touch with your website . I just wanted to give you a sense of what community gardeners are experiencing here, too.
yours sincerely, Kathie Curtiss
