Old Farm

There's a small neighborhood called Old Farm a few blocks north of where I went to high school. For some reason people here tend to pronounce the it with emphasis on the first word: OLD Farm. Isn't that odd? I never knew how it got its name until last Saturday, when my friend JB and I did the annual city garden tour, and several of the stops were in Old Farm. I guess I never noticed the actual old farm before! Ha!  Anyway, it's cute, quiet and originally sprung up probably in the late 1960s like the adjacent and much larger neighborhood, Village Seven, where I lived. We saw some great gardens on the tour and I'll share some pictures over the coming days.
