"Just no homes brewed concoctions," he said. And there are some other issues. "Be prepared" to lose some to the wildlife," Gorman said. Because the base observes wildlife regulations, it is not legal to go hunting out-of-season or poison the coon or deer, that mught have visited your plot.

"We have regulars who come back every year," he said. He points out that anyone who gardened last year gets first pick at plot selection and that in some areas there are a even a few perennial plants such as rhubarb and asparagus. Gorman keeps in touch with those using the plots and encourages anyone interested in renting a plot to contact him through his e-mail, tomgorman@hili.af.mil, with any questions or concerns they might have.
