URBAN GARDENING FOR DUMMIES.

 

I have wanted a space to have my own garden for quite some time now. Luckily, the new house has a small area just for that. Greg and I worked on planting this weekend. I would've done it sooner but my mom told me that if it froze any more nights this year that I'd have to baby them and put blankets over them and I'm too lazy for that. So this weekend, it finally happened.

Greg built us some planter boxes to give the little garden more depth and varying heights of the plants. Guess what? We only got in, like, six arguments while trying to plant. Silly Greg, when he gets an idea in his mind, it damn well better happen just like that!

We planted tomatoes, jalapeños, red peppers, cucumbers, and some herbs. I'm excited to have the majority of the produce that I am constantly buying right in my backyard. Let's cross our fingers that I can keep it all alive. Many people in my family have made gardening their lives. I, however, did not get the green-thumb gene. I'm a bit anxious to see how I do. Don't be surprised if I kill them all, really.
