Shifting gears today, my destination was a community garden in the beach town of St. Kilda. Ironically, as I headed to the beach, today was the first day that it felt like winter...blustery winds and a chilly 12 degrees.
I wandered through the gates of Veg Out and immediately felt a huge grin on my face. this is one incredibly cool place: 140 organic veggie patches that are planted, tended and individualized by locals. The combination of thriving produce and funky art is absolutely amazing to see. I was a little bummed that none of the gardeners were puttering in their patches....it would have been great to chat them up! No worries, though, I'll head back Saturday morning to support Veg Out's monthly market. What's better than fresh broccoli and greens in the middle of winter?
Mo: Sorry, I don't know how to do centigrade conversions. What is 12 degrees converted to Fahrenheit?
ReplyDeleteI was out of town for the week-end, so I'm catching up with your blogs now.

I'm not so great with the conversions either. My (often incorrect) calculations deem it about 50-52F. 50 and sunny is a LOT warmer than 50 and cloudy with winds!
ReplyDeleteHope it was a nice weekend away:)
