We are going to need a bigger bucket

  IMG_2029

I am going to need a bigger bucket, shelves and possibly a very large lamp.

I have been growing lettuce in my apartment for about a month and am pleased to report my crop is doing well. A bit too well, so I may have to plan to thin out my bucket to prevent things from getting too crowded.

The rest of my tiny garden, planted on April 10, also seems to be thriving. A few of my plants have not come up, at least one arugula seed seems not to have made it. Not as freaked out by plant life as I was when I started but am still rather worried about the progress of some of my baby vegetables.

My beans however are growing at an extremely rapid, almost obnoxious pace.

At this rate I wouldn't be surprised if I came home and found them smoking cigarettes and stealing lunch money from my basil. 

Katie and I will be changing up the shelving this weekend.
