Reasons to love Detroit #6 and # 320

6.  Urban gardening is hip and popular in Detroit...which makes me hip and popular...at least among a slightly uncool subset of the population...
This means that there is lots of support for urban gardening and community gardening projects.  So MJ signed us up for the Garden Resource Program through Earthworks...for 20 dollars we got more seeds and seedlings than we can plant this year.


320. It's close enough to farms that you can get free manure without owning horses.  A quick search on Craig's list yielded several leads...So MJ and I rolled out of town into the country and filled our friends pickup to overflowing.
