I started this blog to record my experiments/adventures in the land of urban agriculture. It is growing into a garden consutation business. I will be happy to advise, plan, install and maintain (or any combination thereof) a garden for you.

Neighborly Figs
Can't wait to get my hands on these guys when they ripen up. Ran into the folks that own the house next (absentee landlord) door and got the good word to take what I want. Fig preserves here we come.

Three Varieties
The one in the middle is my favorite with the deep purple middle. Yes, the leaves perked back up in water.
Calling All Calla Lilies
Well, we cut the Calla Lilies by the door today. Pretty aren't they? There are more in the next post or two.

It's Going To Be a Dry Year Folks
I'm going to have to replace my air conditioner condensate pump. It's not pumping the water out of the pan at all. I'm going to need that condensate water to get through the summer without a giant water bill.
Maybe next year we'll have some gutters up around the house. More barrels for collecting early rain will help too. If I put in the raised beds I want to I'll definitely need more water.
