Planting in the bath! Couldn’t wait to move in/get furniture/get a job – and still need to figure out how to tackle the shady back yard area. No idea what will grow there. In the meantime, I’m going to use our super cool mini greenhouse window over the tub (bonus steam watering!) by growing some plants. To start, we see several super cool blue square pots that I picked up for $3.90 each at a pottery/garden store in Oakland by the I-80 bridge overpass, run by two completely crazy half toothless guys who weren’t so great with English but were totally sold on getting me some potting soil and off price pots. Then I picked up a jar ful of assorted succulents (California is FULL OF SUCCULENTS). I don’t know what any of them are. So I picked up a bunch of baby succulents from the mother plants in my aunt’s yard in Concord. The kind that have little rootlets. I hope they grow!

cucumber growing on the electric box
bouquet of spicy italian microgreens gone wild – and now fullgrown. fully sized leaves of kale, lettuce, mustard and (?) with an underlayer of spicy watercress growing in their shade.
little tomatoes – growing redder by the day!
today’s harvest for dinner
That’s a Cucumber-ah! Hidden under the leaves out front – for a while by the looks of it
maybe red enough to eat tomorrow?
Crazy cucumber vines everywhere
tomato plant in pot – sadly given away before i move – i don’t think they will turn red in time
back of our house – the alley where life takes place and my mini garden grows (the back one anyone)
