watered this morning: the corn is sky-rocketing, the okra and peppers are so prolific and the zinnias are Everywhere! Yesterday a group of Memphis City School students toured the garden. The TigUrs are looking forward to a summer with the students, studying urban gardening for eight weeks on campus. They are an amazing group: so smart (and hilarious). And it was a real pleasure to meet their leaders. Joe is a Knicks fan and deeply intelligent. Gardening and sustainability are about time spent--invest and reap rewards. But we have to know and appreciate the "how" of this whole thing. We are all learning. This summer has definitely been worth the wait.
