More






I have a new appreciation for peas. They are so sweet and beautiful and hardworking. First the delicious pea shoots, for many weeks. Then, from the pea shoots we hadnt continually been munching on, the delicate flowers (like impatience) and from the flower a pea pod (that i couldnt get a clear picture of).


The nursery. Last year I grew some greens and such in this in a neighbors front yard. This year it serves as a nursery, TLC pool, and holding space. I found the pool in the garbage and used a hammer and nail to put drainage holes in the bottom. Certainly if you have a drill, that would be perhaps the way to go. ;)

  2. I am going to try and plant some different baby greens this year. I like the pool idea. I also did a flower bed last year and laid out newspaper to do the same thing as your cardboard....I read it somewhere. You look like you have a lot of shade like I do....are there things you have found that don't grow well in the shade?

  3. We just put this garden in in November, so Im watching it. So far the one thing that has been really underwhelming is the spinach (which is a shame cause my kids kinda like it). Im curious to see how the garden does and what the direct sun is like this summer.
