A new home for our garden!

(May 27, 2009) This past May, we had the pleasure of having Colette and Clark in Portland! During their stay, Inge hosted a fabulous get together with family and friends. It was a splendid evening in the upper 60's, as everyone shared a delicious meal, reminisced about the past, and caught-up to the present in each others' lives.

When Inge asked Nate about his interests for the summer, he mentioned that we were growing veggies and herbs hydroponically. We were also eagerly waiting for a plot to become available at the Gabriel Community Gardens (2 years!). It did not seem likely that this year would pan out since it was already May and yet no word about an opening. Inge suggested that she would be elated if we would like to use a corner of her backyard for a garden. She loved the idea of fresh veggies, herbs and fruit, but stated she would be traveling much of the summer and unable to tend a garden by herself.

We were ecstatic to say the least! :)
