Unity Urban Garden: ~ Clean-up Day Pictures

Mr. Berger, the previous owner's lawn mower. He used to live in a house on the plot that was torn down years ago and is still quite attached to it. Surprisingly, the lawn mower stays outside and has never been stolen.

Mr. Berger used to have feral and house cats that he stills comes to feed and the feeding spot is located on the plot. We cleaned this area up and left some of the feeding containers for Mr. Berger. We did not want him to come and see the stuff gone.

What is the city without a beer can? Not good quality I might add. :-)

We dug up some dandelion. Hey, we love dandelion but it is a highly invasive weed. We definitely will not be growing the mighty dandelion. Sorry dandelion, we still love you though!

Supplies delivered by the city. Woo hoo!

A pretty plant, but probably invasive.

That is Shari'. She dug up some lovely rose bushes so they would not be destroyed. We plan to replant them.

Yucca; it looks lovely full grown. We plant o replant this as well.

Brian, a volunteer. He worked it out!

This little boy was so happy to help. He wanted to jump right in!

Another young volunteer that helped us immensely.

Work it out Spoon! We are so grateful! Spoon headed up the hardest of the labor. He had not eaten either until later that afternoon. Shame shame Spoon!

We were originally supposed to get a dumpster but the city ran out. This is what they delivered.

We took it, of course! Beggars cannot be choosers. :-)

Essence to the left, and a volunteer. Ok, do not sleep on the other little lady to the right here. She was hauling heavy concrete. We are MIGHTY in numbers! Essence was on the phone initially giving it all she had to get some sort of dumpster delivered. Those cell phones are good for something.

Kevin, who helped us tremendously as well. Thanks Brothah! I told him I would go and get him something to eat if he needed it and he said, "Oh, I already ate. I knew was we were in for." Go ahead Kevin, because we surely did not know.
