fire escape sky garden, take four!

mother's day seems like a good day for planting. i was about to qualify that statement, but i think you're probably smart enough to figure it out. let's see how we do this year?

some time ago i showed you guys a photo of our modest fire escape garden. much of this garden was planted from seeds. this is something i'd never done, being that i possess the blackest thumb of all. i therefore had no faith that things could sprout from the ground under my care.

so let's credit jade. below, some mysterious kind of lavendar (from seed!) and a cutting of a maple tree. those top leaves--brand spankin' new life!

twin teardrop tomatoes! get your mind outta the gutter....

cucumber blossoms wrapping their tendrils around the metal of the fire escape.

and the dill, admittedly, not the happiest.
