What's growing?

Ask me what's growing and I'll tell you, nothing.

But my nothing is different from yours. After digging out the compost, I start looking around.

I feel like I started late. And then there is the stuff growing that looks like I planted, but I can't identify it.

Omg! There's got to be something hip about that right?

The answer is. . . .

Searching for meaning in a blank canvass

I was looking for a blank canvas from which to begin last year.So I created a blank canvass and nothing is growing there.

What is the meaning of this?

The squirrels have dug up my newspaper mulch. And nothing. . .no beans.

On the other hand, the place where I have done nothing. .  it grows freely.

There must be some other meaning other than I am not a landscaper.

Eh, maybe I'll throw some onions in there.

That'll be hip.

What's the good news?

It's Easter weekend and I'm newspaper square foot gardening!
So, I told you how I plan it. Here's what it looks like.
Those pieces of newspaper are laying on dirt and I just watered the seeds I planted in the squares for lettuce and beans. I used those landscaping fabric pins to hold the paper down. Now, when those plants come up, I'll take up the pins.

Yep, newspaper mulch will help keep the weeds down and keep the soil wet. I'll post more as things grow.

Stay hip! Stay urban! Keep farming!

How do you grow it?

If you haven't checked out my friends, click this link: http://gardens.multifaithjourneys.org/

Check this out. My friend suggested it.

It's cold out there!

Just as it's supposed to be.
I took a little time to inspect the beds on the urban farm.
Well, black raspberries are coming back. . .so is oregano. The tulips are up. And well it's time for a new book case raised bed. And doggone it, if I couldn't find the plans I made on paper. Thank goodness for the blog.

Yep, I said that!  And that's hip!
