One Block Party Challenge

Sometimes you just need a deadline and a worthwhile payoff to get you rolling on those good intentions. Like, say, growing some of your food in your own backyard/ patio containers, and spending more time enjoying the simple pleasures with friends.

Well, Sunset Magazine just stepped forward with those motivators, all neatly tied up as the One Block Party Challenge.  The task is straightforward - grow a summer garden, throw a harvest party. And send your story to Sunset by September 15.  You were going to do the first two anyway, right?

While you are perusing seed catalogs and sketching out this year's gardens beds, take a few minutes to also plan your approach to the challenge - what you'll grow, which recipes you'll cook, etc. Write it all up in your entry, due to Sunset by March 30.

If you need ideas and inspiration, check out the preview of the One Block Feast book, available online at the contest page of Sunset's One Block Diet blog.
