“Excited that I finally have a garden haul to be proud of! These are from my plot in the Rosedale community garden. “Early girl” tomatoes, orange cherry tomatoes, and cucumbers that we may have waited a little too long to pick. Not pictured: the lone strawberry that survived the squirrels and bugs.”

“My largest scale container gardening endeavor to date has experienced a myriad of issues this season, but as you can see I refuse to give up. Here’s today’s “haul” – note the miniature red lettuce leaves and single cherry tomato. At the very least, my extreme sandal tan and grocery store seed-grown avocado plant (back right) are very much going strong.”
