If only I could have chickens, too...
I am very happy to announce we have just acquired a garden! Huzzah! Right across the road from our apartment complex there is a community garden I've had my eye on ever since I moved here. I found out some info about it online and emailed to see if there were any plots available. Well, there weren't. Until now! A spot opened up, and they wrote back to me and asked if I wanted it. I'm excited! I know almost nothing about gardening, so it'll be a fun thing to learn. There are already two little tomato plants growing in my plot, and I plan on adding some lettuce and who knows what else! I want to be able to pick fresh veggies all summer long! Maybe that's ambitious, but so what? It's worth a shot! Anyone out there with a green thumb have any suggestions or tips?

So fun! I can't wait to hear about what grows! I will definitely say "hello" to Calgary for you...I forgot you were from there! I'm excited to experience western Canada for the first time!
ReplyDeleteThis should be fun for us - hopefully a small-scale training for the future!
ReplyDeletePlant some herbs. I love using fresh herbs from our flower boxes out on the deck. We had fresh basil in our dinner last night.
ReplyDeleteNow THAT is a great idea! I've been wanting fresh herbs, but you-know-who would knock them over or nibble on them. Yay!
ReplyDeletePlant cukes and green beans (bush), they will provide tons of food for putting up for the winter :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, and check your codes to see if you could get a couple bantem chickens. A lot of people keep those on decks or patios in the city! They are itty bitty, and very cute!
ReplyDeleteI would get chickens if I could, but I don't even have a deck/patio! Oh well! :)
