Beginning...

I showed up at 8am on Sunday, 10/7, to take the tour and decide just how much more I could fit into my life. Janet W. is the "Phaser" or Phase II Rep for our quadrant. There are 550 plots in this shindig. Amazing. I told her I was signing up and was scared sh*tless.

This is the view to the northwest of the 15 x 15 space "as is" on 10/13/07. The white chairs and the mailbox are in my neighbors' spaces. To the west is a 180* view of the Pacific Ocean and lots of treetops stretching toward the water. We're on a bluff about 2 miles inland. I'll take pics on a sunnier day.

So here's the inventory: two overgrown rosebushes, lots of crabgrass, a morning glory vine, some false garlic, two large amaranth, a 2 ft dia, 1 ft deep hole and one little mint plant over in the far corner; one 5 gal bucket, a buried wood pallet (!?), about a dozen buried bricks covered with a layer of rotting newspaper(!?), a mailbox that reads "heri Dawn," lots of earthy looking bugs, and more crabgrass.

I'm so excited!
