… but it’s not likely to be suspected of extraterrestrial or supernatural links. West Seattle Crop Circle is a new group that Community Harvest of Southwest Seattle is organizing in West Seattle to follow up on the success of the Edible Garden Fair and Edible Garden Tour – and the growing popularity of edible gardening. The first meeting is a little more than a week away – read on for the full announcement from Susanne at CHoSS:

West Seattle Crop Circle
on Sunday, August 23rd, 2009
6:30 – 8:30 PM
@ Duwamish Cohousing Common House, 6000 17th Ave SW (map)

Inspired by the very successful “Urban Crop Circle” in Ballard, we are planning monthly gatherings with a simple agenda:

6:30 – 7:00 Introductions, garden updates, announcements
7:00 – 7:45 Presentation on topic of interest and discussion (invited speaker or one of us!)
7:45 – 8:00 Break
8:00 – 8:30 Garden Q&A

For this first meeting, we will have a TOMATO TASTING. If you like, bring one or more tomatoes from each variety you grow. Who knows – you may find a new favorite!
