I just love it when we all get together and you tell people what a
lousy-looking garden Lincoln had.....

out there?
Yo guys,
During the Ford administration, there were initiatives for gardening on
federal and state public lands. Maybe they forgot to x them out, and
there are still documents/orders of some sort permitting/ encouraging such
garden sites.
You know how bureaucrats hate to change things and just let them lapse.
Couldn't hurt to check out the Ford years and "Whip Inflation Now".
Yeah, I've been in community gardening since then. Wild isn't it?

Reply to me and I'll keep Nick in the loop...
Hello Mike McGrath--I live in a condo, and therefore, cannot have a
garden. However, I work for the Federal government, at the US Naval
Observatory. They have plenty of good land to garden on.
My question is this: Do you know of any government rules or initiatives
that encourage community gardening on Federal land? I'd be willing to
start a simple garden and donate 1/2 the crop to charity, and then keep
the other 1/2 for myself or my fellow gardeners. The commander of the
base is a very by the book sort of person, and I could get them to go
along with a garden if there was a federal initiative encouraging
gardening on federal lands.
Thanks very much for reading this email.
Nick Stamatakos
