Expand My Garden

(aka: you are what you eat)

Last March (2020), when we all started disinfecting our veggies and doing curbside pickups, I took the plunge and bought a tower garden. My apartment at the time could only handle that if I also wanted to be able to sit outside.

But when I moved into my new place and saw the wraparound balcony, all I saw was space for me to grow more food.

Cut to today where I still have my dope hydroponic tower from Lettuce Grow — but I’ve expanded to growing more greens outside of it.

Including my favorites: collard greens, kale, and the plant I’ve wanted to grow the most — Brussels sprouts.

Next up, I have my eye on growing carrots, different varieties of tomatoes, and even a hibiscus plant so I can make some tea.

Another plus, Sophie loves to just hang in the garden. She takes most of her meals out here.

Like I said at the top, not all my to-do’s are sexy, but I think picking food for my meals right outside my door is pretty sexy.

Let me know if you need any basil.
