Perkins Perch

This morning, I met two others from the Perkins Community Garden for breakfast to lay plans for the coming year. The breakfast was a good excuse to get me out of the house on a morning that turned into a literal blizzard that dumped 12" of snow in Grand Rapids.


On the way home, I swung by Perkins to check out the garden in winter. While I was there, I snapped this picture of the folding chair that I sit on to read while watering. In the distance is the leftover corn stalks and the dried out flower bed.

I'm eager for this year. Seed orders from Johnny's and Seeds of Change will be made online tonight.

I'm also helping the Greater Grand Rapids Food Systems Council promote the Perkins Community Garden on their web site.
