Patty, Some of us wish that we had the luxury of closing our community gardens for the season. Summer is generally the "rest" time for gardens in our location. It is the rainy, buggy, humid, hot, and weed growing season. Seems as though the weeds can grow a foot a day. We have to be diligent, hands-on (often hands-on the lawn mower or string trimmer handle) garden coordinators all summer (our "off season") or we would not be able to garden the rest of the year.
We envy those of you who can close up and walk away (or become a snow bird) for much needed R&R.
