We wanted to thank all of those who have made the Community Garden possible. It is such a treat to go there and we are really enjoying meeting all of the fellow gardeners.

A special thanks to our hard working Fence installers, They spent many many hours there working very hard to make it secure (and beautiful). We wish we remembered everyone's name. Tonight we came across a large snapping turtle trapped INSIDE the fence. It was built with such attention to detail that she took a luxury ride out of the garden in Michael's wagon. We were wondering whose plot she planted her eggs in...

We are sending along her picture as well as the lovely moon through our spectacular gate.
See you at the garden

And my containerized garden at home, under construction. (My other computer desktop background picture along with the recent image of Skye on Computer One.)

I have these two dozen 5 gallon buckets I buried with one or two plants each. I only worry about watering and weeding inside them.

I use recycled erosion control fence and recycled wood chips, for a "green" garden.

A pic of my new Ruby Red 2009 Full Crew Cab Chevy Colorado for your site. It features the Five [5] Cylinder, 250 hp engine. Both the engine and the chassis frame are the same used on the smaller H-3 Hummer and, in fact, both are produced on the same assembly line. It is a dandy.......... Love your site!!

COCONUT CRABS
The coconut crab is a large edible land crab related to the hermit crab, and are found in the tropical Indian and Pacific Oceans. They eat coconuts for a living! How would you like to be on an island and come across a crab that is more than 3 feet from head to tail and weighs up to 40 pounds, with a pair of large pincers strong enough to open coconuts! They can climb trees too, but they only eat coconuts that have already fallen to the ground. Coconut crab meat has been considered a local delicacy.

Coconut Crab (Birgus latro) is the largest terrestrial arthropod in the world. It is known for its ability to crack coconuts with its strong pincers in order to eat the contents.

It is sometimes called the robber crab because some coconut crabs are rumored to steal shiny items such as pots and silverware from houses and tents.

The second photo gives you a good idea of how large these crabs are - a coconut crab is seeking food from a black trashcan.

Congrats Carl for getting the lead role as Nick Arnstein in Funny Girl.
We are all looking forward to seeing it.
