Gardeners rent plots, plan to feast off land
By MICHELLE T. JOHNSON Staff Reporter
Soil and seeds are what make one of Carolyn Nitcher's favorite hobbies grow.
Nicher, 1916 Atchinson Ave., was one of the first to sign up this year to rent a plot of land from the Lawrence parks and recreation department, which is renting 20-by-28 feet plots for $5.
Margie Young, secretary for parks and recreation, said yesterday that 40 plots were available in southeast Edge at East Glenn and Harper streets.
Young said the plots were available on a first come, first served basis and were free for use from about the end of March until Nov. 1.
THESE INTERESTED IN renting land may apply at the parks and recreation office for a plot, which may be used to grow vegetables or
Young said this was about the ninth year the city had rented the land, and the program had met with success every year.
The most inconvenient part of tending the plots is their watering, Young said. Renters must supply water for the plots themselves, but the department tills the soil free of charge.
Torn by the decisions that plague gardeners, Nitcher yesterday sat in her living room surrounded by six seed catalogs. With two small buildings she sat the city allowed her to feed her family home-grown vegetables.
"I grew up on a farm, and I love to peddle outside." Mitcher said.
Battling the weeds and watering the garden will be the most strenuous part of what Nitcher considers a loving chore.
NITCHER SAID SHE planned to plant pumpkins, corn, beans, winter squash, potatoes, soy beans and some flowers.
"I guess I have to say that it's in your blood." Nitcher said. "I like to get my hands in the dirt, and I like the peace and quiet."
Donald Hastert, 2730 Bonanza Drive, is another who likes to feast off the land.
