Our garden

I took a bunch of pictures of our backyard container garden. It's pretty amazing how many plants we have growing outside at the moment, especially since our yard was really gross last summer. We've had to devise ways to keep the plants away from the dogs, who have chewed on some of them. Hence the horizontal ladder for the tomatoes made out of 2x4s. I counted 16 tomato plants a few days ago. We also have 7 brussell sprouts, green beans and peas, a whole bed of lettuce and kale in the bathtub, a bunch of pepper plants and cilantro and basil and other herbs and some flowers for color. The garden is mostly the work of me and my roommate Joey. Lance planted a tree that he bought online and some Morning Glories but Joey and I have done everything else. I go out every morning with coffee to check on everybody and to water. I think the peas have been the most fun to watch grow because they look so unlike all the other plants as they sprout. I think they're kinda cute and very stubborn - they don't want to wrap themselves around the bamboo supports I gave them but instead keep winding around each other.


















This is what one of our neighbors has done with his backyard. There 8 apartments on our backyard, 4 on the ground floor and 4 on the second floor.
