We have our first sign of Spring sitting in the window sill, looking out onto an alley and parking lot that don’t really seem suited for growing food. That’s one of the trade-offs of living downtown, I suppose; I gave up a yard for a prime location.
We’ll have a garden still, just not here. Between Mom’s house, Taylor’s prolific garden, our community garden, the ECC Demo garden and the college farm, I think I’ll be just fine.
Thanks to Phil Swindler of Swindler & Sons Florists, who graciously gave me the flat of lettuce and bok choi above, we’ll have some green to look at until the warmer weather decides to stay. We’ll have to figure out how to cat-proof our window boxes though, because, as you can see–
cats need their leafy greens, too. Those buggers.
