construction site/inside

done

my 2 visits

though it feel likes summer is almost over, this year’s harvest is decidedly late. Early this month, my first visit was to meet with Barb and Lara to apply some artistry to the project. Though I have never worked in clay it was enjoyable to surround and decorate the vegetable garden in a beautiful way. One planter box was full of flowers and no fruit and the other had fruit growing — corn, zucchini, beans. All very healthy.  The wheat was coming along but again the rain, lack of sun and heat had significantly delayed its growth.

My second visit this month was a drive by to show my sister (visiting from LA) the interesting project I have been talking about all summer. Everything looked green and  growing but unfortunately that was a layer of dust from the construction site right behind the planter boxes that lent an air of ‘road side’ to the garden. The wheat was booming and looked beautiful in this urban setting. I am sorry this project has been interfered with by the construction. I remain hopeful and curious to the returning student reaction.
