With how busy our
family’s schedule is, I rarely get an opportunity to leave the house to do
things for myself. So, going to visit a garden a few Saturdays ago was a
special treat. I wanted to visit a garden without driving too far so I stopped
by a nearby Community Gardens of Tucson plot. New Spirit Garden is one of my
favorite Community of Gardens plots near my home at the corner of Camino Seco
and Old Spanish Trail. Usually it is locked and inaccessible to the public, but
on the Saturday of my visit one of the gardeners graciously let me come in to
have a look around.

What interests me
most is seeing what is working well for others and learning from others’ success
and failures. Despite the warm weather it seems that peas are doing well for
others this year.

The vegetables that
impressed me the most were the lettuces. Unfortunately the grower of this
exceptionally dark lettuce variety was not around. I was really impressed by
the full dark color that this leaf lettuce possessed.

| Anyone know the name of this Purple/Red lettuce variety? It is beautiful! |
