Veggie Trader Hits Seattle

A TV station in Seattle gave us a friendly mention today, along with giving a plug to both community gardening and sharing excess produce with those who need it, two things we wholeheartedly support. Thanks to all the people in the area who responded to the story by checking out Veggie Trader and posting listings. You can watch the story here.

By coincidence, we happened to take a ride up to Seattle this weekend for an overnight visit. What an awesome and beautiful city! And the weather was absolutely gorgeous. Here’s a photo we took from the top of the Space Needle:


Seattle had an unusually dry spring this year, and driving though the neighborhoods reveals lots of brown and dying grass. But still, plenty of nice and healthy looking vegetable gardens dot the cityscape. The forecast is calling for the possibility of showers for the Pacific Northwest later this week, so maybe all those gardens will get a little drink...

Lawn grass in the northwest typically goes brown in the dry summer, but it's not "dying" or dead, it just goes dormant. With September rains it greens up again and stays green until the next summer.

Just saying lawns looked unusually dry, even for July!
