The garden has a prettier side, and it's this one. The broccoli are doing well, the brussels sprouts are gigantic and the snap peas are climbing up the fence. Things at the other end of the garden are a little sad, the peppers are floundering from the lack of sun and warmth, the green beans are stunted and the watermelon is taking its sweet time to grow. I highly recommend that everyone try a little gardening, even indoors if you can't do outside, it's really gratifying to watch something you planted growing.

I miss gardening. Did you plant any tomatoes? I think that's the first think I'll plant if we move to someplace with a yard or a balcony large enough to house a garden box.
There are tomato plants, but they have been obscured by the giant broccoli and brussels sprouts leaves. In fact, we had to trim the leaves on one side just to give the tomatoes more light. Unfortunately, we didn't give them enough room to grow and the weather hasn't been warm enough for them.
I was very impressed that Eric grew a garden on his fire escape last year. He's very crafty. But it is hard when you feel like you don't have any space. Tomatoes need a lot of room to turn bushy.
