Well, on a different note than the normal construction talk, I thought I'd share some pics of our little urban garden here. We do only own about 50 sq ft of grass, but we've managed to create quite the litle jungle. The Church next door was kind enough to let us use about a 15ft strip of their grass for some gardening and Spencer and Steph also built 3 large planters. Our garden is doing amazing mostly due to the wonderful soil we got from a 15yr old compost pile we got from Spencer's parent's back yard. So, this first picture is our little side patio area next to the large church next door. We have a number of plants and herbs (one tomato plant, peppers, beets, thyme, basil, eggplant, sunflowers, squash, zucchini, carrots, mint, soybeans, and a few other just flowering plants)
Then behind our house where there is more sun we've planted 5 other tomato plants that are getting HUGE! As of a few days ago we had over 30 little green tomatoes growing which we hope will ripen soon.
We're so happy to have Spence and Steph's gardening skills with us since we never would have thought to create such a great little garden ourselves. We've even started composting in a bin ext to the side patio garden and it has been really fun to see all our extra kitchen waste turn into beautiful dark soil. We're looking forward to building a little plastic greenhouse next spring so that we can stat all of our plants from seed with our own soil.
