Thanks for the links, Joan! The beds made with concrete blocks described in the Simple Green Frugle Co-op blog are very interesting. If we can get the materials, we'll have to try it out. I think corn will do well in the deeper soil.
ReplyDeletegreat, catherine! check out this blog too. i know the author, julia posey, a very cool neighbor and friend. i just sent julia a long email all about the project asking her to write a post on her blog. I'll give her a call too and talk to her about the project.

Hi there! I may end up moving back to my hometown of South Pasadena and if I do I know I'll want to garden. I was Googling to see if there were any and found you. Is there an email I can write to contact folks and get myself on the waiting list?
ReplyDeletedear catherine-
ReplyDeletei was by last wed. and was assigned a box, but when i went by on fri. three other names were on the box and mine was rubbed off. anyway, i am wondering if there is another box i can be assigned or if i can build one? there is another ymca member who is interested also and we can do it together. was hoping to get started before wed. but if i do not here from you i will try and meet up on wed. eve.- thanks, christine chin
Catherine, I sent the last note because i didnt have your email. If you would like to get in touch with me and not post my comments, my email address is cwmijd@socal.rr.com. thanks very much, Christine Chin
ReplyDeleteHi, Megan! To participate in the Community Garden, all you need is to be a member of the South Pasadena San Marino YMCA. You can contact us through the Y once you're back. Currently, we don't have a waiting list and are trying our best to accomodate anyone and everyone who is interested. Sure hope you move back to South Pasadena...it's my hometown, too!
ReplyDeleteHi, Christine! Thanks for stopping by last Wednesday. After assigning you to the box, we did have some other members who came by who had previously participated in the workday building boxes. Don't worry though! We will be building more boxes this week. If you can come by on Wednesday and help with construction, that would be perfect!
ReplyDeleteHello All! I am an intern at the YMCA of Greater Oklahoma City and we are developing resources for a Community Garden of our own. I would like any information you have on the subject and how you all got started. Thank you!
