a community garden?

It was about 7:30 a.m. one morning last week-I was working in our vegetable garden and my neighbor stopped her car, "I made calabazita last night-soooo good with your fresh squash-I'm taking the leftovers for lunch today-thanks!"

Hmmm. . .this neighbor and I, we rarely talk-she liked the squash and stopped on her way to work to chat with me. . .
We've always cultivated vegetables in a backyard plot, however this year for my birthday Luke built this raised garden bed for the front yard-a design copied from a garden we both admired in his old neighborhod in Durham, North Carolina.

I rather like creative vegetable gardening in the front yard (reminds me of California in the 60's!), my crop is so visable-so public.
So, working in my very public garden, I wonder, how can I love my neighbors well because of the gospel and for the sake of the gospel. . .

Now there's a lovely stack of zuchinni and yellow crook neck squash, piled on the table, a variety of shapes, sizes-hmmm, today, with which of my neighbors can I share the bounty-with a vision to share the gospel, the greatest bounty. . .

"Teacher, which is the great comandment in the Law? and Jesus said to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. . .and you shall love your neighbor as yourself." (Matthew 22: 36-39)
