Julie and I have embarked on an agrarian adventure. We went during rush hour on the metro, with our granny carts, to pick up plants from
Old City Green.
 |
| People kept shouting out to us "plants!" like they had never seen anyone with a granny cart full of seedlings before. |
 |
| I guess not everyone has a Metro-accessible urban farm to go to. |
 |
| We planted peppers, tomatoes, eggplant, and herbs. |
 |
| Actually, it is possible that Julie did most of the work. She hauled all the yummy compost you see here. Apparently we are entitled to 7 more wheel barrows full of the stuff and neither of us is jumping at the opportunity to drag it over to our plot.... |
 |
| I planted a solitary daisy plant in the corner. For some reason this makes me absurdly happy. The other two plants are sage and lemon grass. |
 |
| It looks pretty barren, still, but there is actually lettuce and peas and carrots and beets planted here. The garlic is looking good. |
 |
| I wish we had planted these....I love peonies, but it is really not appropriate to pick them out of other people's yards, is it? |
I. Am. So. Jealous. I am going to try to do some work at the Girl Scouts' urban garden I helped start a few weeks ago, but yours is much bigger and prettier and yummier. :) Have you checked out urban garden possibilities in Atlanta?
