If you see it on the news it's legit, right? The Medford channel is doing "Scott's Garden" every Tuesday at 5 with the first show on the 15th. They promise to talk about raised bed gardening, planting seeds, germination, harvesting, and my topic here: sharing.
In these hard times it seems wise to grow as much as you can. But some of us don't have the time / space / knowledge to be completely self-sustaining. So the idea is that we share.
Maybe I can do root crops like carrots or potatoes, or onions. But Frank who has more sunlight, can do corn, beans, and other tall crops.
No brainer; Frank and I share.
And it can be rotational. I can plant more than I need two or three times. Same with Frank. If there were more than two of us we could all share a communal garden almost year-round.
Sounds communist almost. But these are depression times. No room to stand on ego or social status. Being neighborly pays.
