Urban Homesteading – How Does the Garden Grow?

Just one month ago, in Settling In, I wrote about the pathetically poor dirt masquerading as soil in my new raised garden beds. In fact, I said at the end of that blog post, “Hopefully, the next photo of the garden will include lush veggie foliage — we’ll see!!”

Well, just look at the garden now! I am pleasantly surprised by how everything has flourished. The spinach, lettuce and arugula are not as robust as they could be, but we have eaten a number of fine, tender salads. As of yesterday’s 90-degree-Fahrenheit-plus temperature, the spinach has bolted, but I think I’ll still be able to harvest some lettuce for this evening’s supper.
