I thought I ought to post my picture. This picture of me with my 2 young boys was taken on the stony beach at Pak Kok Tsui a couple of months ago. We had a great time that day just playing and collecting all kinds of neat stuff that had washed up on the beach. My elder son, Avi, found this red flag that had once been a marker for some fisherman's lobster traps. Avi made it the court flag of our beach rubbish castle!

Today, I'm really excited about starting a 'community shared garden' at my place in Tai Peng Village. I have started clearing up a pice of land for the project where I live and I just made a posting on Lamma.com, Lamma Island's Community Website, to ask if other people would be interested in helping to set it up.

Back in Calgary, Canada about 5 years ago, I had been involved in a community shared garden. At that time I had two 2 mentally challenged roommates also got involved and it had been a great way for all of us to make new friends. Not only that, but we had a good time and a lot of delicious fresh vegetables to share with all our non-gardening friends.

I sure hope this new garden can 'get off the ground!'

I found this neat little video about a community gardner in Toronto: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMJB_bhF58E
