gardens

i am heading out tomorrow for sea island. we'll be having dinner tomorrow night at the greyfield inn. very excited about this. just wanted to touch one one subject before i left. my dad's garden. he loves it. this garden is unique in a few aspects. the main one is, it is in the middle of town. by this i mean, it is right on us60, where we have about 50 cars go by every minute of daylight. it is between two businesses - a bank and a lumber company. he raises corn, potatoes, onions, tomatoes, squash, and melons. it is also unique in the fact that it is a shared garden. there are two main caretakers, but it provides bountiful vegetables for about 10 families in shelbyville. and it is a welcome respite to the mass development that has sprung up all around the fields i played in when i was growing up. i pass it near daily on my walk to the bank, and it always takes me to simple times in my mind.
