Our community garden neighbors at Carroll and Columbia streets will have live music, beverages from Brooklyn Farmacy and a competition between three local chefs: Josh Kaplan from Dassara, Lauren Rauh of Iris Cafe and Morgan Jarrett from Nightingale 9, Seersucker and Smith Canteen. The $15 admission goes to raise money for the garden's maintenance and upkeep, and visitors will vote on the best sandwich. For details, check out these posts from The Word on Columbia and DNAinfo.

Path to Greatness: Almost Finished!

It took nearly all summer, but the garden path is almost completely weeded! Thank you to all the gardeners who helped! I have one more section to go, and then I'd like to go over the sections that I weeded earlier and are starting to fill in.

Here's a photo of the weeding in progress.

I've been making a lot of Breaking Bad and Heisenberg references lately, so please indulge me: "Listen garden weeds. I am the danger. I am the one who pulls."

I found this cicada shell while weeding, even though our part of Brooklyn didn't get the 17-year cicadas this summer.

I'm glad I got a photo of this! It was so beautiful. Alas, when I was in the garden a few days ago, it had perished. I think it accidentally was pulled up.
