This is what I did today

The common Roots Urban Farm had it's launching work party day today. The raised beds to the east side are for community groups, and there are a half-dozen or so that are for public consumption (the ones closest to Robie street). Jayme Melrose said she figured about 200 volunteers attended today. Councilor Jennifer Watts made an appearance.
