Kitchen Ninja's little bit of green.

BEFORE: no arugula. AFTER: Arugula EVERYWHERE.
BEFORE: FEB NOW: MAY


LETTUCE! SPINACH! SNOW PEAS! ZUCCHINI! BUTTER LETTUCE! ARUGULA!CHIVES! and more tomatoes than i should have ever started back in feb. I got so excited after seeing j.me post a fantastic urban garden idea, that I had to post an update on my little garden out here in PDX.


L - R: chives, zucchini, butter lettuce, parsley. Front to Back: Heirloom tomatoes, cilantro,basil, strawberries and more heirlooms.

It may be small, but it's doing pretty well, and i've been having some pretty great salads since March. Hopefully the zucchini makes it, but they're looking pretty weak sauce.
It's totally a learning experience, and it's nice to know that my tiny piece of earth is a little greener.

  2. Wait for cooler weather (end of summer) and then plant those suckers. : ) otherwise they bolt too soon.
