The Little Tree That Could


Some of you will recall that a couple of years ago the magnolia in my Fenway Victory Garden neighbor Rob's plot was left for dead. Well, that bitch is back.

    Yeah, that tree is amazing. I was taking pics of it yesterday. It was really drawing a crowd.

    Btw, there are some really bitter dudes with gardens down there. Not the most welcoming group. I was nice to them, not sure what the problem was. Maybe I'm being too sensitive.

      You may have encountered some of our surlier gardeners (and there certainly are a few), but most are pretty friendly and won't mind chatting a bit.  But you have to understand the gardeners have to contend with a lot of different kinds of traffic.  We get occasional rowdy visiters from the ball park looking for an outdoor toilet, homeless people, and people looking for drugs or sex.  It's a mutil-use park, I always say. 

      I was talking to one gardener yesterday, with a great people-watching garden in the Boylston section, and he was telling me that another gardener with a plot down by the river says guys routinely poke their dicks through his fence and wag them at him.  With maybe .05% of guys that could be cute.  But it's generally not the Sean Cody types doing it, I guarantee you. 

      So people bring vastly different social skills to the table on both sides of the fence.
