Grow Annapolis - community vegetable garden

What an amazingly abundant Fall season this was.  I have watched the Grow Annapolis veg gardens being developed on a section of a sod farm that borders on our little community.  I drive by a few times a day, it feels like a trip into the country with sweeping lawns and a typical red barn, even though it is fairly newly built.  I decided to join the growing tide only in September and in two short months, have picked almost daily for the past 5 weeks, given so much away, and been amazed at how quickly seeds appeared and grew overnight, seedlings filled out and produced a bounty that I never imagined.  With full sun, the gardens grow!!  We have eaten freshly picked organic - turnips, radish, baby beetroot, chinese cabbage, bok choy, mustard greens, two different types of kale, arugula, spinach, two different colors of swiss chard and baby carrots.  Not bad for a 2 month growing period.  The growing season is now over sadly, it's getting too cold to grow anything outdoors, so I will have to wait for spring to plant again.

All in a day's work - watering the newly planted seeds and seedlings.

About 3 weeks later, I am already picking

Fall begins, leaves change, the nights get colder
