our little garden

ironically, i've installed my garden towards the end of summer season because its taken me longer than expected to gather all the supplies and really plan out and learn how i wanted to set up a backyard garden for myself and some of my gypsy friends...

so finally, our small plot is ready...the hard, san diego clay has been tilled, nourished with compost and soaked to make a decent potting soil...tiers have been built to ensure good water flow and to give the garden a little shape and pizazz...seeds have been planted with care and with friends and hopefully in a couple of weeks we'll have the beginnings of some late summer fruits and veggies to watch and to help grow, and to enjoy, celebrating the beauty of growing our own food and sharing it in the context it was meant to be shared in...


arugula, spinach, bush beans, snow peas, tomatoes, cucumbers, beets, basil, cilantro and a few lovely flowers to give the area color and dimension

here we go, lets hope that the heat and the roommates won't kill all the seeds that have been sown...
