City Living: Farming on the Fire Escape

As a little girl my bedroom was done in a Beatrix Potter theme. Once I hit my preteens my parents let me choose how to redecorate my bedroom and wouldn’t you know, this wild child choose to have a garden theme bedroom!

Honestly, I don’t know where the passion for gardening came from and tending to plants certainly has never been my forte. Recently I decided to try my hand at growing a few simple vegetables on our fire escape.

I’ve planted tomato, basil and lettuce. We’ll see how this goes. Truth be told, I’m not optimistic, but I will certainly try my best!
