Anyway: Argh!
Then I decided to visit the nearby Garden for the Environment. But there were people working, and the light was too bright for taking pictures...
I took a few anyway, along the sidewalk.
Then I remembered the community garden across the street that I made a mental note to explore.
So, that's what this blog post is about.
Don't let the spring-y look of recent blog posts fool you. It's not snowing, but it's still plenty cool. Definitely not vegetable-growing weather. Furthermore, as this garden is squarely in San Francisco's fog belt, where one might argue it is never vegetable-growing weather. At least not for summer vegetables.
Yet since we have no frost, we can grow greens all year. And that is just what many vegetable gardeners do.
I have not brought you to this garden to wow you, but we are here. So let's check it out.

Then I want to show you what I pulled over for on the way home:
Goats!

A charming "homey" community garden-and what is up with all those goats? Plus, quite a variety of coats they have.
Can you tell me what the plant is in the 3rd picture with the dark blooms?
Check out this page from Annie's Annuals for a bit of blogging serendipity:

That's Cerinthe major 'Purpurascens'.

A half-hardy annual. The species is quite different but 'Purpurascens' grows true from seed. And re-sows vigorously here. And bees think it's crack.
Beautiful. You can feel the richness when the whole community comes together and put their personal touches (such as those re purposed bricks creating an edging) on a project of this scale.
