The #CharlesRiver #CommunityGarden in #AllstonMA helped me to cope when I lived in the city. While I didn't have a plot, I still enjoyed the #GreenSpace and it helped ground and calm me. I hope it stays around for many, many more years!
History of our Garden
"The Charles River Community Garden, #CRCG, was established in 1979/80 by Julie Hensler, who could not find an available plot in the Herter Garden. She contacted the Dept of Food and Agriculture community gardening program and was told there was land further upstream. She rounded up 20 friends and they staked out a 60’ x 40’ garden and turned the soil. It was then divided into 10’ x 20’ plots. Adjacent to the CRCG was the #BostonFoodCoop Small #VictoryGarden. In 1985-86 Julie and her husband took a year off to travel around the world, giving the work of Garden Coordinator to two gardeners who failed to do the job. The garden appeared abandoned and the Dept of Agriculture threatened to terminate the lease. 'Julie called all of the garden members from 1984: many had moved, some had just given up. The list of active gardeners was only about half a dozen people. Everywhere Jule went she tried to convince people to join the garden. Those who joined took 2, 3 or even 4 plots to keep the garden running. The effort was successful, and the garden got approval from the Dept of Agriculture to continue.' In 1996 the two gardens merged under Sue Wymelenberg, who secured funds for the fence and formed the Garden Council. Sue was succeeded by Peter Burns."

Last year - or earlier - was a good time to start planting your #victorygarden.
It takes time.

Prepping to #GrowYourOwn #VictoryGarden over winter utilizing the #wallOwater principle because physics is our friend. Experienced gardeners that get seasonal seed catalogs are familiar with the Wall O Water tomato enclosures sold by them for the purpose of frost-proofing young tomato plants in early spring.
#solarpunk
Filling up used soda bottles (2 liter) with water and arranging those into a coldframe formation can be effective for extending the growing season at both ends of it. When the coldframe walls are 2 bottles thick, you can grow cold season crops well past frost and past first freeze.Adding strings of Christmas lights under the clear plastic tent/covering will give you all-winter produce. But I've taken that a step further still, utilizing even more physics aspects of water' heat exchange properties.Pure H2O freezes at 32F, 0C. Tap water isn't pure H2O and the dissolved material in it results in its freezing at a temp below 32F, and that's why "antifreeze" is a mix of glycol and water. Conversely, when heated, it also retains more heat because the boiling point has risen well beyond 212F....and that's when it's exposed to open air. Inside a sealed container where internal pressure can build, that raises the boiling point still further upward.
...and that's why you're not seeing many water-filled 2 liter pop bottles in the picture of my digs I attached. You see, last year I didn't have enough pop bottles to make a patch of that size but I did buy lots of jugs of vinegar that were on sale for pickling season, and in a pinch used those to make up the difference--only to discover that they're a better antifreeze than tap water by a long shot. So what you see here are jugs of pickling vinegar, a gallon apiece, bought on sale just for this coldframe purpose. It's got irrigation lines criss-crossing the bed, a couple of tomato cages in the middle to prop up a clear plastic covering, and a few strings of Christmas lights mounted on PVC conduit to run down the middle. By golly, I'm gonna grow my own all winter long. I'm in Ag Zone 7.

It's so rewarding to me to see our ever expanding #KitchenGarden of raised beds start to get all green and growing at this time of year!
It makes me feel like I have wasted my life by NOT doing this in every place that I have previously lived, but of course all of those places were rentals (although there was that one rental apartment where I filled the balcony up with veggies in pots, much to the chargrin of my housemate who complained there was a distinct lack of space to sit out there and smoke :P).
I want MORE! MOOORRRREEEE I SAY!
My husband and I joke that everytime we hear of the world becoming more and more unstable and shit, we deal with it by building another raised bed and learning how to grow some new kind of edible plant. #FoodSecurity and all that. Our #VictoryGarden against climate change and idiotic political machinations.

My wife and I are not particularly good when it comes to gardening, but we've decided it's time to make another try. We're planning to build a 4'x'8 raised bed garden to try our luck this year. If it goes well, we'll probably add a couple more next year.

Yay! Raining! My crops need it. Water bill been high cause I've been watering. Don't freak out, it's a victory garden about 6 x 8. I've got like 8 tomato plants, five squash, some carrots and just planted more kale. Pollinator garden is about 2x5.
So far I've gotten 1 tomato, but the garden is still young, I planted late because of the move.

"In 1939, more than $200 million worth of vegetables were grown in 4.8 million farm home gardens... In 1944, 18.5 million gardeners took part in Victory Gardens, supplying 40% of the nation’s fresh vegetables."
The American people, through mutual aid and cooperative action, developed a genius plan to not only ensure the supply of resources to the war effort but to enhance the health, well-being, and solidarity of the population.
Whether we acknowledge it or not, our lives are being invaded and occupied by massive systems that produce our food, destroying our health and the health of the environment. It's war time, but this time, the goal is to claim the resources taken over by the mass, factory agriculture system and bring them back into local control. The Victory Garden revolution is the solution to bring sovereignty back to the people.
