Plot 23

Today (March27, 2010) I start tracking my 25' X 50' farm at the College of Southern Idaho's Community Garden. I will post updates with pictures journaling the experience from ground prep to the table. Follow along if you can handle the excitement.

Gardening Rules and Guidelines
Failure to comply with these rules will result in forfeiture of your deposit, and possible revocation of your gardening privileges.

Safety (emphasis mine)

• Keep hoses, weeds, sticks, bricks, tools, and toys in your garden, and away from public footpaths.
• Maintain a five foot walkway around your garden. This enables the CSI tractor (What? Do I get to drive this tractor?) to move up and down pathways without driving in your garden.
• Hoses must be disconnected and stored in your garden after each use. Failure to do so results in a test of strength between garden hoses and lawn mower blades.
• Never bring into or leave wood in the garden area with exposed nails.
• Do not extend your garden plot past the boundary markers. If additional space is required, please contact the CSI representative or call the Ag office at 732-6401.
• Do not bring glass into your garden.
• Alcohol is expressly prohibited on CSI grounds.
