I live in the midwest in the USA and I really haven't heard of anyone doing that around where we live. Now we have a small garden in our back yard...I do love to garden but patchwork is my passion....Nice to meet you...Hugs TinaTinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08809066962346502824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27685457.post-1149464281750644432006-06-05T00:38:00.000+01:002006-06-05T00:38:00.000+01:00In the city where I live there are quite a few pla...In the city where I live there are quite a few places where you can rent a small garden spot for a very small fee...We are a college town and they have the extra land to rent out. It's wonderful for the people who don't have a spot of your own.Sandy Hatcher-Wallacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15011307599473627922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27685457.post-1149418620094442702006-06-04T11:57:00.000+01:002006-06-04T11:57:00.000+01:00I'm really enjoying your blog.The taste of things ...I'm really enjoying your blog.The taste of things you grow yourself is way better isn't it.Good for you.

I know that it is difficult to stay on top of the work in a garden when you live on the same plot- much less when you have to get into a car and drive to it! But still, how nice to get your hands muddy and to know that you are eating something from your own little piece of land! And frugal, too. I love flowers in the garden, too. On another note, I really really enjoyed your quilt photos. Your quilts were all cheerful and bright. Maybe like you, eh?Nineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09888930053826285866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27685457.post-1149363333547070292006-06-03T20:35:00.000+01:002006-06-03T20:35:00.000+01:00What fun to have a space to grow something for you...What fun to have a space to grow something for yourself. I really miss that part of home ownership. I had several flower beds around the property, all blooming flowers most of the time til it froze in Oct.<BR/>With these rentals, we aren't even allowed to put bulbs in the ground. So all we can have is what grows in pots...very much NOT the same...*VBS* Enjoy the season!!!Finnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17677133672404343036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27685457.post-1149350723317926002006-06-03T17:05:00.000+01:002006-06-03T17:05:00.000+01:00Over here in the states we have them, in different...Over here in the states we have them, in different way. In the city they sometimes have "community gardens" which are big plots of land that a certain community takes over and shares. <BR/><BR/>Around my neighborhood some of the local churches that have large land will rent out plots of gardens for people who want one, but they are very hard to find. I don't know if they do that in other areas, but here they are scarce..of course it could be because I don't live in the city so most people have a back yard. I live in a condo and I do terribly miss my back yard and flowers but not enough to haul over the a garden and work LOL!<BR/><BR/>I love all the old doors! Are they seperating someones plot or are they used to shield a crop?Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14059454522337423829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27685457.post-1149349769097830702006-06-03T16:49:00.000+01:002006-06-03T16:49:00.000+01:00themild weather and lots of rain has certainly mad...themild weather and lots of rain has certainly made things comeon leaps and bounds here in Taunton - hope it has for you tooAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352283065863856112noreply@blogger.com
