While my own garden is failing in the drought (no measurable rain since late August) my friend's garden is growing a healthy crop of weeds.
She rents a plot in a community garden program. Very aptly named.

Where she lives the native soil is rather poor and unsuitable for
gardening. The local municipality has several of these community gardens
around town. I hear there is a waiting list to get a plot so the garden
association will send out threatening notices if you don't maintain
your plot.
One of the items on our to-do list while I was visiting was to whip it back into shape and plant some cool-season veggies. It's too cold to do anything from seed but the garden center still had transplants.

Going in today (front to back ) are red lettuce, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts. Plenty of room for them to grow, and enough activity to keep the garden association reps at bay.
I wouldn't mind gardening in a place like this.
