The beat goes on

Hello and welcome to my little slice of life.
It has been several weeks since I posted.  My last post indicated that I was pulling out of the community garden.  Well I’m not officially out but I’m just hanging to see what happens.  I committed to get my neighborhood association’s garden up and going and hopefully they can take it from there.  Since the inception of the “garden project” though, I have visited several other community gardens in the area. I am currently in a wait and see mode for the one closest to me.  One of our City Council representatives called the Garden Manager a Garden Hitler.  I found that funny.  I call him a Dictator really.  He is DD to me. 
This guy came up with some of the most asinine rules known to man.  In visiting the other gardens, they look like fun.  Ours sounds as though it will just be a garden with no fun.  There is a rule that says don’t kink the hose.  There is a rule that says you are responsible for your plot and you should be the one tending to it but then later on it says the plot belongs to you and your household.  Then it says you cannot transfer it to anyone in your household.  It is clear that this guy is WHACKO! He is still trying to convince us he was a farmer.  Ok Mr. DD Farmer Dude…..question, how far apart should tomatoes be planted?  I know they were cheap but 12 plants all about 6 inches apart I can tell you isn’t going to work.
Did you know we don’t discriminate but if an undocumented worker comes on to the property with us, we are subject to removal from the garden?  Isn’t that discrimination?
We will see what transpires from here. J
