A garden project report: a handful of potatoes, carrots, onions, lettuce and cucumbers planted. A small number of tomatoes is still waiting to be replanted outside (probably in a couple of weeks).
The timing isn't optimal, but it's more of a research project than anything else. And this time there's no landlord who would say "wtf you're growing tomatoes IN POTS in the backyard, GTFO it's a violation of the rent terms".
Trying to grow stuff makes me wondering: the back garden is tiny, but it looks like we'll be able to grow most of the fresh vegetables we use (staples aside) if we use it effectively. It is simultaneously a lot of work, and not a lot of work (heavy stuff is doable over odd weekends). It's difficult in terms of planning, and it's difficult in terms of food preservation. Let's say, best case scenario: what do I do with a bucketful of cucumbers every week in August and September? Gotta step up my pickling game

@nina_kali_nina I adore all of the trees that in my back yard. I don't like that they keep me from having an awesome vegetable garden back there.
