Fall clean up at the community garden.
A handfull of us got together to ready the Frederick Douglass Avenue Garden for winter.
I helped remove the tarp from the new pergola. "Just 4 screws" the builder had said. They were not the old Slotted or Phillips head but Torq. A #20 size, Argh. ~ Some time later we got the front free, easy with the right tools. Move the ladder, climb and find a hypodermic needle & tourniquet stashed in a fold of the tarp.
I've found needles in the garden before even in the rain barrel but never new unused ones.


The day before winterizing.
An over grown abandoned lot behind an Auto repair shop 6 years ago. Now an inner city oasis ~ with a heroin problem.
