Want to get involved in doing some guerrilla gardening of your own? Sounds pretty civil indeed, if you ask me!

We spent this past weekend, cleaning up my square foot garden. As you can see, it needed some attention: Some of the 'weeds' in the picuture is the mint that I naively planted 10 years ago when we built my garden box. I converted the box to the square foot garden method until 2 years ago. Have you opened up your garden yet?
