A friend and I took a walk last night through the Dowling Community Gardens, which are now at their peak. Bella and I usually make the gardens a destination on most of our walks since I'm doing so little gardening of my own this summer. They get full sun and lots of attention from the various gardeners, so it's really fun to see how fast things grow (and how big they get!). But I haven't taken pictures for awhile...I'm guessing that there may be over 200 individual garden plots and each is as unique as their gardener.
Oh yes, and the bug? This big guy was hanging out on my hallway floor yesterday. I expected to see bugs of all sorts at Penland, but we really just have spiders and mosquitoes in Minnesota.
