Little green balls of yum!

While I was out planting some new seeds* on the Apartment Garden porch today, I noticed our tomato plant has signs of yummy deliciousness!


I was given this plant from the girl downstairs...originally I wasn't planning on having any tomatoes because the E.S. Garden has enough for an army. So I don't even know if these are cherry or if they'll get to be humugo. Hopefully the former because the plant grew in a bit sparse and probably wouldn't be able to stand up to any mammoth tomates.

It was a great weekend to garden here in upstate NY! The E.S. Garden got a good working out of me, although I forget to bring along a picture shooter so no updates on that end. But check Flickr because the Apartment Garden has a nice update!

*I'm venturing into uncharted territory now...I planted some pumpkins and cucumbers. I babied them hardcore with compost and organic fertilizer, my fingers are crossed! We'll see how they do growing in a pot on a porch!

What's that smell?

Sweet article on urban composting. I have not tried it in my apartment yet. I keep some food scraps and bring them to my parent's compost pile during the warmer months. Scraps are so hard to store for long periods, though, so it would be smart to start my own smelly decomposing pile of fruit and veggie leftovers.

Give it to the worms!

P.S. A real post is coming soon. I promise. I have an exam today so that has been priority. But I have a neat little experiment in store for you all. Get ready!
