Wow, you don't need to yell!!* Since you don't say where you live I would suggest you contact your local government or extension service.

I understand you not wanting to share where you live.* You could add your state and plant hardiness zone to your profile. You can see mine says zone 7 - Maryland.* Being at a forum where you have to register and can hide your e-mail address from public view helps to protect your privacy.

Anyway, I went to http://www.google.com/ and put in the search box:
King County + Washington + community garden
The very first listing lead me here.
http://www.mrsc.org/subjects/parks/comgarden.aspx

You can click on 'Community Garden Programs (Public)' and there's a whole list!* :)

Now you know how to search.* ;)

You are so very welcome!!* I'm ordering my salad with ranch dressing now.* ;)

Why not plant a cover crop for the winter?* It will look better, hold the soil in place and add good nutrients to the soil.* Need info on it?

You seem to be very interested in organics and more info all the time, so I'm sure this site won't be too much for you. * Some folks think I use sites that are a bit too complicated sometimes.* :?

I did notice that you added your state and zone.* When I realized what time it is here, I knew that it's 3 hours earlier where you are.* :)
