So far we (me and the boyfriend) have been doing so much porch gardening. It seems like every week we’ve been buying new seeds or collecting new seeds. It started with only four seeds — basil, chives, cilantro, and green onion (note, need to redo the pictures…the link of the pictures seems to be broken 80% of the time).
The following week was wildflower seeds and blue bells.
The week after that was red chili peppers, spinach, red and green bell peppers, and persian buttercups.
Definitely been growing a lot more stuff. Here’s a picture of the persian buttercups bulb before I put it in a bag to germinate.
Dehydrated!
Here’s a picture of the bulb in a Ziploc bag with a wet paper towel after one hour.
Completely plump!
To try things out, I put a bulb directly int the soil just to compare but it seems like everything that has started in a plastic bag has germinated. I sure would like to try other things though.
In other news since my “backyard” is really a porch, I’ll design something to keep plants and vegetables together and NOT take up space in a 3 by 6 ft porch. I really am enjoying my urban garden experiment and I urge you to try to do the same.
