Potrero Hill Community Garden walk

Julie and I took Mason and Calum to the community garden in our neighborhood to attend the self-guided pumpkin walk. I love this place. A quick "about":

Established in the early 1970s, the Potrero Hill Community Garden is one of 40 gardens operating under the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department. Membership is open to any resident of the city.

Located on a once-vacant lot above the slopes where the "Goat Lady" of Potrero Hill used to graze her herd, the garden now consists of 50 plots and common areas maintained by local residents using only organic methods.

The garden boasts of panoramic views of the Mission, Twin Peaks, and beyond. Its sunny, Mediterranean climate permits cultivation of fruits, vegetables, and ornamentals, including dahlias -- the official flower of San Francisco.

It was also the first time I had Calum in his Moby carrier facing the front! He loved all the stimulation, so much so he fell asleep on the way home with my thumb in his mouth to keep his head from falling forward :)
