After spending the day at the Museum of Flight, I needed to see some green, so, while Zosia slept in the car, I had Jazz drop me and Konrad off at Seattle's oldest and largest Pea Patches, which are like the European Schrebergaerten, where individuals who don't have the space for a vegetable garden can get a small plot in a community garden. It is a fabulous concept and, as you can see from these pictures (despite the weather), works very well in Seattle.
Below you see the demonstration garden which was . . .
. . . created in memory of Lloyd Mott.
Among other things this demonstration garden featured espalier.
The demonstration garden leads right up to the Picardo Fram Pea Patch which is basically an entire city block of small plots.
Community compost below.
Community shed (red) in the distance with Seattle's first composting toilet and . . .
a huge rain barrel. (I want one like this!!!)
Cool idea for mini-green houses.
