Wasted space everywhere

The kid and I scoped out the planter box by the bar and it is in a state of replanting. That's good news, I'm sure, but now we must turn further afield for our first expedition.

Fortunately, today we took a long bus trip. It was easy to see lots of great potential planting spaces now that I am looking for them. I think I saw a great place on our side of the river. It would be easily accessible for folks crossing the bridge--and there are a lot of needy folks who live and walk around that bridge. I'm pretty excited.

Suddenly, I can't believe I don't own a trowel or shovel.

My first project!

We've been thinking about "adopting" the empty planter by the bar up the street for a while, but since I just finished Food Not Lawns, by Heather Flores, my garrrdening urges are at full throttle. I'm going to start light: easy stuff, like sunflowers and maybe some pumpkins. The planting starts this evening or Saturday morning, depending on activity around the site!
