Last Friday, our wonderful facilities guy here found us a nice spot with lots of sun for us to plant a garden- they even roped it off for us and started digging up the grass. My Ayi, who is an area expert on growing veggies (meaning she grew up on a farm just outside of town), helped me dig it out, pull out the grass, and buy the seeds. Zoe put the seeds in the holes and then we covered it up and watered it. I wanted to just do it in pots on my balcony but nothing will grow there because of the lack of sun. I have killed many plants in AZ so I am hoping to have better luck this time.
We planted: corn, squash, green beans, cucumbers, watermellon, and sunflowers. Later I hope to add some lettuce, onions, cilantro, and basil from a friend. Should be very yummy!!
