Annapolis garden plot thickens! Apply now

Grow Annapolis, a non-profit dedicated to fostering and sustaining community gardens, is now accepting applications to "rent" the vegetable garden plots it has near City Dock in downtown.

 

But hurry, because you only have until March 15 to apply and the plots will be assigned on a first-come, first-granted basis.

There are some forms to fill out with the application and the plots rent for $40. There will be a community work day in the garden on April 2.

I stumbled on these gardens last summer while strolling around downtown, and they were doing beautifully. Compost had been donated, a water supply opened from the closed Rec Center building and straw was donated used to mulch the gardens.

If you don't have a place for your vegetable garden, consider this one!

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.
