Smerdu Community Garden

Gail and I have been volunteering at the local Carlsbad community garden.  Every 3 or 4 weeks is our week to work in the Rot Spot making compost.  I took some phone pics of people's plots this last Saturday, which I think are pretty amazing for being in the middle of winter.  Of course this is Sun Diego County.

 Beautiful cabbage and chard.

 Every plot is fenced and has its own water faucet.



 Ripening tomatoes in February!





 There is a long waiting list to get a plot.  You can tell how much some people cherish them.





 Does anyone know what kind of plant this is with fruit growing off the trunk?

Thanks for the garden pics!
I think that is a papaya tree. And those tomatoes -- you can get away with murder down there!!

Nick, you're so funny.

Those plots are gorgeous. I've seen that same tree in our neighborhood and wondered about it. Papaya, huh?! It would be pretty cool to pick and eat those.
