A couple of months ago I took it upon myself to "repurpose" (I think that's the word of the day) the vacant lot on the other side of my neighborhood. This was to be a very passive thing as I and, let's face it, most people don't have the time to tend to stuff they randomly drop in open fields. So it was a nice surprise when I walked over and found this ( see pics).
I find it funny that only the stuff native to the New World made it. It's also funny that the corn I planted here is doing better than the stuff I had growing in my yard...and that's not funny haha.
Amid the things growing I also found this:
I know what you're thinking - mass suicide. Some Heaven's Gate type shit, right?!!? Maybe. Maybe iguanas all need little sweaters? I think this is where QVC finally meets PETA.
Oh wow, that vacant lot is infinitely more lush than the garden I lavish with care. I don't know if that is more annoying or funny!
ReplyDeleteWhere I live, vandals would tear this up just to be mean.
Funny you say that. My vandals (aka city workers) came by today and did just that. I think they left one sunflower standing.
ReplyDeleteDuncan,
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to read that the city would do that to such a great deed. Boo!!!! I just wanted to tell you that you wrote the Guerilla Gardening Part 2 piece quite humorous! Nice work. :-)
