Jason Harvey, founder of the Oakland Food Connection is aiming for a fruitful summer. In the works are three new gardens, a revamped website, community events, food parties and a booth at the Eat Real festival.

My seeds sprouted about a week ago and though the seedlings continue to stretch their tiny newborn leaves toward the sun, they still have a bit more growing to do before they’re ready for the big wide world outside. So instead of the next installment in how to grow your own food, I thought I'd talk a bit about Community Gardens.
