After too long a delay, GardenWerks has returned! And there was great rejoicing.
Rather, it will return shortly. I got a 20' × 15' plot in one of San Jose's community gardens, the Mayfair Garden, payed my $90.00 water fee, and will start planting it next week. First I have to get a shovel, a fork, a scuffle hoe, hose, and, of course, vegetables.
What surprises more than how much I enjoy gardening (and eating the fruits therefrom) is how much I've missed since I came out here in November. It turns out puttering in the garden is as much therapy and outlet as it is hobby and labor of love for fresh fruit and produce. Bless my wife's heart for allowing me this indulgence so long as I don't ask her to help in the gardening.
So, within the next two weeks, I'll be spending some time preparing and planting a garden. I'm happy about that.
