HEY GUYS! It's been a while, weather has been sketchy here for the last couple months however my potato, tomato and beans are doing fantastic. My onions have been doing great. Lettuce not so much, but oh well and my cucumber is looking a little worse for wear but he's pulling through. However I...

My lettuces are hanging out in the greenhouse since it's so warm in there :D

Yup, I was thinking of doing that since my little poly tunnel is up. We should get a wee bit of sun later this week so I'll stick it out there for an hour or so if the tunnel has heated up enough.

So we got some snow Monday night :( makes me so sad, and my lettuces are growing quickly so I'm going to have to re pot them soon into something bigger. Can't wait for proper spring around here, in other news, my spinach have sprouted as well! :D

and just for fun, playful pug baby

So many of you know that my fiance and I live in a tiny 450 sq. ft. apartment and have only a fire escape as outdoor space. Our plan is to grow a number of vegetables in our limited amount of space using mainly planters, however keeping them off the fire-escape floor is key! We designed a box...

My lettuces are sprouting!

Welcome! I'll be container gardening in a small space this summer, well... as best I can at least haha. Not new to gardening, just new to urban gardening.

They're actually strawberry containers from costco! We go through A LOT and I mean, 3 boxes of strawberries in a week kind of a lot. Aha, can't have cookies around here -- as my fiance says, control starts at the store!

Would you believe we had MORE pigeons just last summer? Our buildings roof had a huge hole in the side of it (over our apartment, go figure) and the pigeons were living in it. Now there are far few pigeons -- though still a pest. and this weird tail-less squirrel but he's mostly about in the...

It faces west, and gets quite a lot of sunlight in the summer. Like, it's basically only in shade in the evenings. Sometimes.
