LuvMyRanger - - remembered something a little earlier today and wanted to get it posted to you quickly (so I broke my own rule about going online at home
)
Most, if not all, Army bases have specific areas set aside for gardening. Unless one knows about them and knows to ask - they sometimes sit idle.
Go to the MWR office and ask about it. Usually they are administered by the MWR. At all bases I was at (once I learned to ask) there was no limit on what was planted. It also provided for a lot of swapping
plants and product from the garden. There are usually not enough plots for everyone that might want one - which is why they are not advertised on base. I had been active duty over 8 years when I learned about them. The plots are generally good sized - some have been well worked - some are "new" ground.
I'm trying to remember which agency besides MWR would know about them. Also - simply asking at the Rec Center will generally not locate it - as those folks are often just as in the dark as other GIs and dependents.
Again - - wishing you well.
Jon
