Since I have already begun my own garden I decided to 'share the wealth' with my neighbors. Many of my neighbors here in South Phoenix are immigrants from Mexico. They do not speak much english (but I am taking Spanish this semester) and we get by and end up sharing thoughts quite fluently. So when I described my garden I did spark the interest of my neighbor Victoria, who has taken advantage of the compost pile I started and the huge assortment of seeds I had on hand. It's only one person so far but I intend to recruit more neighbors and hopefully take over one of our empty dirt lots in the neighborhood. In return (this family never receives without giving) she has offered to show me how to make cheese. This is great knowledge and I am happy I reached out and found a way to communicate so that we could both learn and prosper from one another.
