my own drum

Over the last couple of weeks the garden has flourished. Weekend rains, daily sunshine and warmer temperatures have all combined to create a climate of prosperity for anything green. It's already apparent that there will be a lot of weeding and maintenance for this garden.

I've taken a new batch of photos and posted them on this site. As I discover or learn a new plant name, I'll update that page with the information. I will also be adding more pictures as they come.

I've also done some research about the Boulevard Community Garden (ala Google). So far, there is only one link that I thought was work referencing, and it was from 2000. But the article describes how our garden began, and shows an image of the original sign out front. This sign is currently under renovation. The original lettering had been replaced by stick-on letters, and the paint was faded and peeling. Our friend Emily is doing the artwork.

Bookmark this new page and check back often.

Today I took pictures of the many flowering blooms in our garden. Unfortunately, some flowers have already bloomed and then lost their color or foliage. Seeing that happen, I thought it was a good time to snap a few new photos. These can be viewed at the link below, Garden in Bloom.

How does our garden grow

This might also be a good time to mention that the Boulevard Community Garden has a new e-mail address at "BoulevardCommunityGarden@gmail.com"
Please use this e-mail address for any garden correspondence. Thank You.

It is also worth noting that very soon the garden will be identified on Google Maps. Anyone looking at the maps in the vicinity of the garden will see a marker on the map, directing them to the garden.

I'm posting a few random items, because I can. First, you may or may not have noticed a name change. For some time I have been making anagrams using the following letters - A E O C P R S T. I don't have a reason for this, it was an idea that came to me late one night, and I followed it. I've decided to change to something completely different, and for now, more appropriate - Aromaman. You see, I'll soon be making premium quality fresh hand dipped incense. For people in Atlanta, this is good news. For the rest of you, my apologies. This incense won't be available on the internet for some time, if at all.

Last weekend I was in Suches, GA. The event was a pig roast, given by a fellow to gather his friends and acquaintances for fun and fellowship. It was a great time. On Sunday morning a few of us hiked a short distance on the Appalacian Trail (from Woody Gap) and meditated in the glory of nature's bounty. I took a lot of pictures, and these can be viewed at http://theworldwidewiki.com/pigroast/

During the last week the drug dealers visited my rose bushes, located outside the fence of my garden. Both rose bushes were trampled. I'm certain this had nothing to do with what I wrote about those morons in this blog; they're simply bullying morons who cannot stand to see anything nice in their midst. Oh well.
