Community farm

I started grow vegetables at community farm in Norwalk two years ago. The farm is owned by the city and they rent it to the residence ten dollers a year.  I thought it is great idea.  It is fun to grow vegetables and we are happy to eat fresh and safe vegetables.  But I learned that it really needs a lot of work to maintain the plants.  Last year, we planted beans but the insect eated up all the leaves.  Since it was very hot last summer, the beans started dried up after they lost leaves which were working as a shades.  Finally, I had to dug out all the beans.  Also, the egglant and lettace didn't grow well.  However, some other vegetables which are the tomatos, carrots, cucumbers and herbs grew very well.  I also like to have contact with people in the community at the firm.  I can't wait for spring!
