There are waiting lists to get a plot in the many community gardens here in Eugene. -----Original Message----- From: owner-cypherpunks@lne.com [mailto:owner-cypherpunks@lne.com]On Behalf Of Declan McCullagh Sent: Thursday, May 08, 2003 8:55 PM To: Harmon Seaver; cypherpunks@lne.com Subject: Re: Collectivism in "community gardens" On Thu, May 08, 2003 at 01:04:50PM -0500, Harmon Seaver wrote:
Hmm, I've never seen that sort of a problem with community gardens anywhere. The vast majority of the people work pretty hard on their plots.
From my window where I'm typing this, I can see (or could see if it were light out) one of Adams Morgans' once-lauded "community gardens." It might have been a big deal in the 1970s, but now it's just a rocky slope with a few scraggly corn stalks growing on it. I've never seen a gardener actually garden there in the seven years I've lived in the neighborhood.
