It was a great year for community gardens in Kingston.
Diane Davenport graciously allowed us to farm the land across the street from Binnewater on South Pine Street – giving us a free water supply to boot. We were able to bring in Diane Reeder of Queens Galley who is using the property now as a place for her ‘Operation Frontline’ program with the kids – to plant and farm food for the soup kitchen.
Although somewhat late in the season, we still got some planting underway. Enter Farmer Frank. For me, he was one of the best finds of the year. Frank’s priorities and work ethic are inspiring, and we’re very lucky that he’s here. Kingston will NEVER go hungry. At least not for long.
Attached are recent pictures of Farmer Frank, Pink and the start of a glorious garden.
