Lincoln is a heavily wooded town and as a result if you want to have your own fresh produce, you tend a plot in the sunny Community Garden adjacent to Codman Farm.
This past weekend, the weekend before Memorial Day (May 25) the garden was a beehive of activity as plots were marked off with fences and soil was amended and tilled. Memorial Day marks the official first frost free day, the go ahead sign to plant your tomatoes. At the end of the day, the gardeners will go to bed tired and dreaming of lush ripe tomatoes off the vine and sweet corn on the cob in August. Or...will it be a nightmare of millions of zucchini, tomato worms, cabbage moths and groundhogs?
The Garden is also a favorite hangout for artists and photographers alike.

It's a good find to a plot available, but your last sentece fits me better...
This is such a good idea. I have a cousin in Lincoln, I wonder if she participates.
When I finished my garden, I ached all but I'm not nightmares
What a great idea...communal gardening!
It really is busy there! Looks idyllic with the artist in the middle. He's very good too.
