So many plants, So little time...

So, since the last time I posted I have been very busy. First of all my green pepper plants have new growth! I am very excited. My rooftop garden is doing well and it is finally starting to warm up so they should really take off soon. I have also been working on a few friends yards and finally have the pictures for that. First I put a vegetable garden into my friends backyard, which includes tomatoes, green and yellow peppers and habanero peppers. My big project though is still in progress but I have pictures of the progress. I am redoing another friend's front flower bed. So far I have ripped out all the dead plants and bushes and completely weeded it. Second, I put in two azelea bushes and transplanted bluebells from the backyard to the front yard. The next step will be to put pavers across the front with small ground cover flowers in between. I have had help from my mom with the flower bed. Thanks Mom! So stay tuned because I have two other projects that I am going to be starting in the next two weeks. Just to note all of these projects are urban gardens!

A Week Later.....

Well it has been almost a week and my plants are doing well so far. We have had a lot of rain so I have not had to water at all. I moved the plant so that they could get a southern exposure but they are still on the roof top. I have added pictures of each plant. I added flowers to the beds for color and pollination. This project has inspired me to help my friends with their gardens. It has been a lot of fun! I hope you are enjoying the blog so far and please check back for more pictures.

Day One of the Pepper Project

This blog was inspired by my mom. It is a project in urban gardening that I hope will lead to urban farming. My mom is a full force supporter of the slow food movement and growing your own food. Unfortunately many of us live in urban areas with little to no green space of our own. My project is to see how much you can grow in containers on a rooftop. I have planted habanero, hot chilis, bell peppers, pimento peppers and tomatoes. I will updating the blog weekly to let you know how my garden is going. I plan to add jalapeno to the garden as well. Let the adventure begin!
