We are happy to say that after weeks of planning, scavenging, and collecting, we have started our first garden. It's a container garden and we only got one container planted with tomatoes, bell peppers, and onions. Do you know how hard it is to come by large tree containers for dirt cheap?! Don't get us started! But we finally did and now we're planting! We need to collect more compost at the city compost site this weekend (since our own compost is no where near decomposed enough to use yet) to start at least 2 more containers which we hope will contain more tomatoes, cucumbers, cilantro, jalapenos, and eggplant. We'll let you know what the outcome is.
P.S. If you are pregnant do not, I repeat, DO NOT, prepare or fertilize with fish emulsion! I am in my 3rd trimester and haven't fought back serious repeated gagging like that since trimester one and that short bout with the stomach flu in trimester two. It was hard to prepare it, fight back the heaves, and my cat who was seriously interested in rotten fish juice! Uhg!
