Day 29 - the very last day (31 Oct 08)

Overview (Left & Right Diagnals)


I broke down and went to the plot on the very last day it was open (I am going to go see if I can still get in during November) but I thought I'd pick up some of my tools and the bagged hoses I'd be absolutely lost without if they were taken ... and I thought I'd see if there was anyone around to ask whether or not we really had to take absolutely everything home. I checked the bulletin board and found that Lynne, our President had posted a letter about the letter sent out by the City. She assured us that it was just a form letter and that we could in fact leave things in our tool sheds so long as we'd closed the plot down, etc.

It was a beautiful day (about 16C) and the sun was falling on my empty plot and you just KNOW things could still have been growing there if they'd let us stay longer ... I wanted to remember where the sun falls on my plot and where my tools were so in Spring I can hit the pavement running ... and so I took photos of

the tools I took home and
put @ back of the garage
(there's another bag of
hoses that connect the
garden to the faucets)

even possible - we just all R
