Scenes from a Garden Tour

Ok, we were too busy talking to the 80 or 100 people (!) who came by to take pictures during the day, but this is how things looked before the gates opened.

Top 10 Best Plant Names.

Sorry, Saskatoon berry. I went on holiday, eh.

Does anyone really use tarragon? Wait, does that say “tarrafon”?

My lovely and charming assistant. (And proud member of Urban Land Army West Seattle!

People like cookies. Thanks, Little Rae’s Bakery.

Posters, information cards, and a draw for an Urban Land Army t-shirt and City Seed Packs. A lot went down.

Bakery equipment in a garden setting.

The Grow It Yourself garden gone wild.

Oops, forgot to weed that patch before people came over.

Or as they say in West Seattle, ‘Black Pineapple’.

We want to thank everyone who stopped by for a tour of the Urban Land Army grounds. It was loads of fun geeking out on gardening all day and meeting people from the neighbourhood. Nothing better!

The 2nd Annual West Seattle Edible Garden Tour was sponsored by Community Harvest of Southwest Seattle and the City of Seattle Department of Neighborhoods. Good work, people.

We’ll be back soon because we have a lot to talk about, like how do you know when a tomato is ready to pick, or when to dig the potatoes, or seed another round of carrots, beets, and salad greens?

(Hint: NOW. But hang on, there’s a bit more to it…)
