It doesn't look like much yet but this is my plot at the community garden. In center, spots for 15 tomatoes (5 in 5'-tall metal cages, 10 at 8' bamboo stakes). On right are 4 banks of 8'-wide, 7'-tall metal trellis panels (welded remesh sheets) for peas; then later for pole beans, climbing melons, honeynut squash, etc. At front, room for 4 pole-trained (vertical) summer squashes, with more 7' trellis panels on either side of entrance for Dr. Martin's pole lima beans. On perimeter I have approximately 40 fava beans in the ground, all due up soon. I also have spots for poblano, serrano, tomatillos, beets, carrots, radishes, fingerling potatoes, and three kinds of onions. #garden #gardening #allotment #vegetables #GrowYourOwn #Swarthmore

I hate plastic landscaping fabric. This is just one of the hundreds of small clumps that people at my local community garden leave on their plots at the end of the summer. The whole area is tilled in the spring so the microplastics get distributed to everyone. #vegetables #garden #gardening #plastic #microplastics #soil #dirt #Swarthmore

And because the site is tilled, the microplastics get distributed to everyone. #vegetables #garden #gardening #plastic #microplastics #soil #dirt #Swarthmore

For National Bird Day I went over to fill my mother-in-law's beloved bird feeder. Then the lawyer from the condo association showed up, tipped off by a neighbor, who said feeding birds is absolutely not allowed. He looked so pleased with himself. I've never come so close to making a comment about a man's toupée.

Chocolate cheese. My mother used to buy this at the Michigan State University dairy building when I was a little kid. Never seen it since (for reasons). Now available at the Swarthmore CO-OP. #chocolate #cheese #food #MSU #EastLansing #Swarthmore
