Just a note of clarification for LA landless gardeners...Growfriend.org was developed by windowbox.com in partnership with the LA Community Garden Council specifically to give wait listers an alternative that would get them growing food sooner. You can register for free at www.growfriend.org. Another similar site was launched recently by Growing Sustainable Communities and represents a parallel project in our area. So there are lots of online resources for landless gardeners to use if they are seeking a place to grow a garden. We wish success and good food for all! Hi!
