Harvest time at the condo farm

 
 
I managed to gather enough vegetables from my grow-light garden to make a salad. The lettuce was incredibly tasty but the radishes were the best part. Pulling them from their little peat pots was as satisfying as I expected it would be.

The rest of my vegetables from the April 10 planting have been transplanted from their peat-pot homes to containers made of collected trash (mostly cut plastic containers pulled from recycling bins in my garbage room).

Everything seems to be thriving. I expect harvest number two to take place in the next couple pf weeks.

A word of warning to condo dwellers. If you are considering planting a garden in your living room, you may want to invest in a vacuum clearner.

Hello,
Reading your article in the Star on Monday and checking your blog helped me to get motivated to write (almost) my first post about my balcony in my blog. (http://myidees.wordpress.com/2011/06/16/my-balcony-is-also-my-garden/). Congratulations for all your achievements so far and I guess your sister is a real support for you to fulfill your self-reliance target!

You can substitute dandelion leaves for lettuce if you want to focus on growing your other vegetables :)
