[Green Thursdays] My Own Little Urban Garden

A few months ago, I said in defiance that I was planning to start my own backyard urban garden. I live in a postage stamp of a house in Bernal Heights, but my roommate and I (okay, mostly my roommate -- she has quite the green thumb) have succeeded in waiting out the winter months and have done our planting for the spring. Here are a few shots of what we've done with the place. It's all in containers right now, but we plan to use some raised beds soon, once things get a lil crazy back there. 

Right now, we're growing: 
  • Strawberries
  • Swiss chard
  • Cherry tomatoes
  • Thyme/Rosemary
  • Mixed lettuces
  • Potatoes
  • And lots of other stuff that I can't even identify because my roomie has done some of her crazy magic back there, and I no longer recognize the plants I so lovingly picked out at Flowercraft.
