drop off compost,
plant some food,
use the greenhouse,
build some stuff/paint/decorate,
share seeds,
Let me know what you want to see. So far, upcoming projects include:
Getting Tables/benches for a seating area and bus shelter

Corn
If you have anything else you want to see, go ahead and do it. Feel free any time to get in there and take a look and imagine something.
I recently met a few Neighbors who lent a hand.
Faith, Dan, Ed and Verassi were gettin' dirty the other day. Ed put in some onions and Faith's got beans growing now. I also ran into Seth, a student from Pitt, and he was interested in doing more. Charlie said he'd drop off his compost. Denisia saw the garden and asked if I could plant some flowers by her front porch. I would definitely be down for traveling to people's houses to help them set something up. I've got flower seeds and more so let me know. 412 559 1088.
Claire from Landslide knows a lot about medicinal herbs and I'm hoping that with enough feedback we can get a class going.
A lot of other people have seen the lot and made comments. People often ask what I built. It's a greenhouse aka hothouse, and will keep "starter" plants warm until they're ready to plant. I also got a few chickens the other day. In a few month's they´ll be ready to lay, so if you want eggs. Let me know either on the site, on email, or call.

I recently heard from Richard Strauss, that there are community grants available for Lot Beautification projects. I also heard about google grants. That would really come in handy, and the money would be put to good use.
You might have seen me out in the lot looking like a mad man to whip things into shape. My name's Ben Rickles. Just say hey.
check back for photos.
Peace, love and healthcare for all,
Ben
