The purpose of this journal is to share the progress of my community garden plot, located in a city-run park in Toronto, Ontario.
I will likely occasionally digress into details about gardening at my downtown apartment, including both my balcony container garden and the front yard of our building - “flowers only” by request of the landlord!
The adventure of Plot 22 began in February 2007 when I signed up for the waiting list for three different community gardens in Toronto. After nearly 3 months of anxiously waiting - and watching over 100 thus-far homeless veggie seedlings growing larger every day under grow-lights in my living room - I received my permit for Plot 22. A 20′ x 30′ plot of my very own land!
I took possession in the first week of May, 2007. Over the next few posts I will outline my progress from the last month of prep and planting.
Please feel free to send me comments - I’d love to know if anyone is out there actually reading this!

Ciao Mel-
Lookie there! Congratulations! I know you have more pictures and I can’t wait to see your progress. It’s a reminder to myself to get with the program and post more pictures of what I’ve been up to over the last few weeks. Good work!

Hi Mel,
Can’t wait to see more pictures of your garden, I’m so excited for you! Hopefully I’ll get some newer pictures of my garden up on my facebook soon- only 20 exposures left on my roll of film- lol. Check them out if you’re on there.
