Buying expensive organic produce is motivating me to grow my own veggies this summer. I have a brown thumb, though. Our town has a few community gardens, but I don't know anyone who uses them. How do they work?

I can honestly say that they are all different and pretty much all function differently. I love our community gardens in Portland. Dh and I gave up our plot when we moved into our house and I miss being around all of our garden friends.
Usually there is a waiting list to get a plot in the garden. Some gardens are organic, many are not. It is a fairly simple idea. Some gardens have a water spout, some you have to bring in water. I suggest that it be near enough that you can get there ofter...Dh used to work right next to ours so he would spend his lunch in the garden...boy I am glad I not longer have to get dirt out of his work clothes :rolleyes
Do you have any other questions?

Thanks for the reply. I'd imagine ours here are similar to what you described.
