Baltimore celebrates its vegetable gardens

War Memorial Plaza, just outside Baltimore's City Hall, was the scene this weekend for the 22nd Annual City Farms and Community Gardens potluck supper.

Baltimore has more than 600 vegetable garden plots in the city, and more than 200 of the citizens who tend those gardens gathered Saturday evening to show off their produce - and their recipes.

The Sun's Dan Rodricks was there and filed this report.

War Memorial Plaza is home for this event, but it was an even more appropriate location this year. As reported here on Garden Variety, planters surrounding the plaza have been planted with vegetable crops for the first time ever.

I'm sorry I missed that. I'm sure the vegetables grown in the city would have inspired me to do better next year. The deer ate our tomatoes for the first time in twenty years.

About Susan Reimer
Susan Reimer has spent 16 years writing about raising kids - among other topics - in her column for The Baltimore Sun. And every time son Joseph or daughter Jessie passed another milestone - driver's license, college, wedding or a move to a new military duty station - she has planted another garden. Now she will be writing about those gardens - and yours - here on Garden Variety.

Susan isn't an expert gardener, but she wasn't an expert mother, either. Both - the kids and the gardens - seem to be doing well in spite of her.

She lives in Annapolis with her husband, Gary Mihoces, who loves to cut his grass but has noticed that there seems to be less of it every time the kids pass another milestone.
