from eyesore to organic garden
residents of the 4200 block of fremont avenue used to complain about the empty lot in their neighborhood. formerly the site of a two-story victorian home that had to be torn down in 2002 due to structural instability, the lot remained undeveloped for eight long years. a chain-link fence surrounded the property. following years of neglect, the lot began to accumulate trash and other debris.
âit was a real eyesore,â neighbor barbara pennington said. âour street looked like a perfect smile, except here was this rotting tooth. i just figured no one had the money or the time to do anything about it.â
no one, that is, until dale eaton came along. eaton, a retired software engineer, purchased the lot earlier this year. eaton said he often passed the lot while walking his dog at night. he decided something had to be done.
âhonestly, iâm not usually interested in real estate,â eaton said. âbut when youâve lived in a neighborhood for as long as i have, you start to feel protective about it.â
eaton, who lives a few blocks away with his wife and two daughters, didnât buy the lot for the usual reasons. whereas most developers these days are interested in condos or apartment buildings, eaton just wanted a garden.
âi figured it was the best thing for the community,â eaton explained. âand i knew i could count on other neighbors to out.â
as soon as the fence came down, neighbors began to take notice. with the of his two daughters, denise and darla, eaton began to build raised garden beds. they studied different techniques for composting, aerating, and planting. within a few months, their vegetable garden was already showing promise.
it didnât take long for other neighbors to start pitching in. jed schweiber, a long-time resident of fremont, started donating compost last month. these days, schweiber visits the garden almost daily to pull weeds. suzie hatchman, another neighbor, said she brings compost to the garden whenever she can.
âi canât wait to see this yearâs crop,â hatchman said. âmost of us donât have this kind of space in our own yards. but here weâve got enough room for larger vegetables like squash and pumpkins.â
indeed, visitors to eatonâs new organic garden might be surprised to see how quickly this eyesore has become a paradise of vegetation. eaton hopes that other seattle residents might be encouraged to do the same thing he did. after all, he said, ânothing connects a community quite like a growing garden.â

Read the following excerpt from leslie marmon silkoâs story "the man to send rain clouds." the priest stared down at his scuffed brown loafers and the worn hem of his cassock. âfor a christian burial it was necessary.â his voice was distant, and leon thought that his blue eyes looked tired. âit's o. k., father, we just want him to have plenty of water.â the priest sank down into the green chair and picked up a glossy missionary magazine. he turned the colored pages full of lepers and pagans without looking at them. âyou know i can't do that, leon. there should have been the last rites and a funeral mass at the very least.â leon put on his green cap and pulled the flaps down over his ears. âit's getting late, father. i've got to go.â which of the following statements best describes the thematic significance of this dialogue? this dialogue emphasizes the ongoing personal conflict between leon and father paul. this conversation between leon and father paul makes it clear that they will never come to an agreement. leonâs and father paulâs differing perspectives of the situation reflect their larger cultural conflicts. leonâs hasty exit from father paulâs house reflects his discomfort with the priest and christianity.
