neighborhood gardens

I spent time with dirt today, and with neighbors. Two good things to spend time with, I think. I transplanted tomatoes that have been growing indoors for the past 6 weeks into bigger pots, and Julie planted beans and lettuce. Then Steve, and JB and I dug with shovels and a roto-tiller to make a second garden bed behind the first. In a few weeks we will plant pumpkins, zuccini, sunflowers, and other good stuff in this bed. Reminds me of Wendell Berry's insistence that topsoil is a signpost of the kingdom. I agree with him.
