Yesterday Michelle and I went down town to scout out some spots that we thought could use some guerrilla force. We found a small bed in.... let's just say a 'downtown public park'...that we have been working on. Today we prepared the soil and added compost. We had two men that joined us in the work and two men (security) that spied on us.

Glenn was the name of the first fellow who helped - his nephew, whose name I didn't get was the other. They were both a great help and suggested that tomatoes and peas would be good vegetables to plant.

The security came over - NEVER asked us what we were doing - BUT asked us if Glenn was bothering us, MIchelle said no...a little while later the two security guys came over and told Glenn that his friends were waiting for him and that he should go join them at Studio 54...Glenn said he was just fine and would stay and work...I told them that he was helping us, he then said, "well...they were REALLY waiting for him", those security guys, they are sooo helpful!!
























Anyway, like I said we got the soil worked and will be planting 'soon'. Michelle has some tomatoes she has grown from seed that we will plant, then we will add lettuce, peas, beans and some pretty perennial flowers as well as a few sunflowers for the peas and beans to grown up.
