Our Community Garden Plot

Here are a few pictures of the community garden plot Jenni and I will be planting. It was supposed to be done over a month ago but at this point we're just happy to start growing some of our own food.  Our plot is in Denver at Colfax and Josephine directly next to East High School.

This garden is a huge step in the right direction for this community as well.  This lot was filled with trash, broken concrete and tons of other unmentionables.  The Colfax Corridor is a little run down to say the least.  However, projects like this are completely changing the landscape(no pun intended) of this part of town.  There's a farmers market directly next door to here and Marczyk Fine Foods is opening a second locations about 4 blocks west of here on Colfax.  Not to mention great organizations like, Same Cafe, who also has their own garden plot here, is just down the road.  Same Cafe's motto is "So All May Eat."  Your lunch costs whatever you can afford.  If you don't have any money, your lunch is free.  We're trying to work out how excess crops grown here can be donated to Same Cafe to be served in their restaurant.

We're still deciding what to plant since it's so late in the growing season but I came across this awesome guide today.  Here is the crop calendar provided by Colorado Fresh Markets for Denver:
