Vegetable gardening


After working out the logistics, I have planter boxes secured to my second floor fire escape landing. This is outside the kitchen door. I found PVC lattice, which is easily cut, and secured to the metal rails with cable ties. Then window boxes are the perfect size. The lattice prevents things falling to the cars parked below, and offers some filtered light and windbreak - it's very exposed on that tiny porch on the side of the building.

To me, summer smells like sun ripened tomatoes, warm from the garden. I have 4 varieties: Early Girl, Jet Star, Beefsteak, and yellow something.
