Hi guys! I've been gone for a while (due to running and other family stuff) but I am back. How have you all been?

I recently became involved in a community garden project in Santa Ana. It is still in its early stage so there are lots to be done and lots that can be done. The location of the Santa Ana People's Garden is on the grounds of a church, near I-5 and Main Street. We are still trying to get the word out so that people can join and get a plot. Anyway, I am thinking that this could be a good location for a Round Up. I would have to pitch the idea to the powers-that-be but I can't imagine it being a problem. We could probably borrow some tables and chairs from the church. There's a long stretch of grass area that's shaded by trees. There are plenty of parking and bathrooms. We could plan it so that the RU coincides with one of The Garden's general work days, 1st or 3rd Saturdays of the month, so that the other gardeners can see what a great community and resource Dave's Garden members are.

Whatda y'all think? How about coming by and taking a look? I'd love to show you around.

Here's a picture of how it looked 2 months ago. These 2 small plots are completely covered in vegetation now. We have picked lots of eggplants, cukes, tomatoes, and squash from them in the last 3 weeks.
