Community Garden and Apple Orchard

This is behind our building, a large green area in a circle of apartment buildings.

 This is the path that takes us to the gardens, horse paddock, greenbelt and apple orchard.

Crossing the bridge...you can see the community garden in the back.

It's a good thing it's surrounded by a tall fence that also gooes into the ground. We saw two rabbits and two deer while we were out tonight. Unfortunately they were too fast for my camera!

My little plot, with the tomato, eggplant and bell peppers that I brought with me. We also planted radish seeds because they only take about a month to grow. Bryan has never had a radish - he says his mother doesn't like them so she never served them. If I had spinache seeds, I've had planted them, too, since they only take about 5 weeks. We had to sign a contract agreeing not to use chemicals in the garden - huzzah!

Behind the garden is the path that takes us around the green belt to the apple orchard.

Straight ahead to aaple trees! This is where we saw the deer. I'm sure it's no coincidence that there were almost no apples on the ground and very few hanging within reach.

The kids gathered apples they found on the ground and gave them to a very sweet and appreciative horse.

Connor and Deirdre were in heaven!

Connor climbing. I climbed this tree to reach some apples. The rest were too high. For the sake of our family, we will have to invest in a small ladder...

Deirdre wanted to carry an apple in her shirt like mommy.
