gift plant
"Pickle Plant" or "Miniature Cucumber Plant"- call it what you will, this is an amazing plant that makes me really happy! My aunt gave this to me as a gift (a great gift idea!). I set this thirsty plant up against our chain link fence and it began climbing it in a matter of days.

Photographic evidence. Working hard on a Saturday afternoon. :)
A big thanks to my grandparents for letting me borrow their garden tools and for sparking my interest in gardening when they let me plant a pumpkin patch in their backyard when I was 8!
the urban homestead
the story: My husband and I rent an apartment in a two-family home in a semi-urban area and have a lot of freedom with what we do to the yard.Over the past six-weeks, I have been caring for various seedlings that I grew from seed (bought at a $1 a pack from Big Lot's) in plastic containers. I tore up two plots that were previously filled with grass and weeds and plan to grow tomatoes, leek and carrots with a border of marigolds to help ward off insects.
Homegrown vegetables, here we come!
upside down water bottles?
A cheap trick I picked up in South Africa. Fill bottle with water, turn bottle over and shove into the ground. Ta da! Irrigation! (fill bottle up and repeat when the bottle is empty).
