Very impressive website; your group totally embodies the word "heartening" I used in my last post a few minutes ago. I lived in Crestview for years and gardened then, but it was a solo operation. We had the Community Gardens then, but I had a big yard and stayed home; are they still there? Mostly, gardening seemed to be "fringe" behavior back then (not THAT long ago) and CSAs did not exist. Kudos and best wishes. Welcome to FOOGS.
Thanks guys! It's really awesome work! Still massaging it and always looking for ways to make it better. Maybe you should pop by during CSA pick-ups! NEXT Saturday we're going to have a big table out and make pesto all together out of the bumper crop of basil. Feel free to pop by between 9:30am and 11am. I look forward to meeting you! Love the idea FOOGs. :D
