the cement garden survives (so far) a storm

the new blue planter at night time
davidsilver:
the cement garden gets tagged!
davidsilver:
i cleaned up the ten or so discarded paint cans, all the trash, the dog shit, and the leaves - and then planted a new sweet yellow plant called key lime pie.
davidsilver:
what kind of fool steals an azalea - straight digs it up and plucks it out - from someone's planter on the sidewalk in the middle of the night?
davidsilver:
i countered with this sweet little succulent stashed away on the back deck
davidsilver:
some fool took our cement garden literally and decided to leave behind a child's pool filled with hard and heavy cement
davidsilver:
today i pulled the third and last azalea from our stash on the back deck and planted it into the cement garden in hopes that it may enjoy a day or two living on the sidewalk before being ripped off.
davidsilver:
tagged ... again
davidsilver:
our neighbors join the sidewalk garden with two planters of their own!
davidsilver:
someone left a bag of fruit - oranges, limes, and a mini-pineapple - in our planter
davidsilver:
when i first saw a paper bag in the planter i was like "what the ..." and then i walked down to see it first hand and discovered a bag full of fruit.
davidsilver:
sarah paints the planter blue ... again
davidsilver:
conceptually, the cement garden certainly welcomes neighbors to use it as a bench while having lunch and drinking a bag-wrapped beer; structurally, however, i doubt the blue planter can regularly withstand the weight of full-grown adult male.

davidsilver:
it's safe to say, i hate to say, that the cement garden has seen the beginning of the end
