We're pretty excited as it seems that we're actually able to grow a few things here in the middle of downtown Vancouver. I mentioned a few posts ago that we were trying our hand at urban gardening - well we've already begun to reap the harvests! Small harvests mind you, but, there ain't nothing wrong with free veggies no matter how few in my eyes. So far we've got some pretty healthy looking kales and a coupla fairly healthy zuchini plants. The growth and success of the latter being especially surprising. We are already munching on the kale and have some nice zuchinis in our fridge. Some of our kales got attacked by root eating maggots which was kind of gross and a bit disappointing but it did free up some space for some tomato plants so we shall see. So far we've just put seedlings and seed in the ground, watered it and boom! Up came these veggies. We did buy some pretty decent compost for the garden and we used some fairly wormy compost from the compost bins to add growiness to the soil.
As you can see the chard is doing pretty good and our zucchinis are already quite mature. I'm actually afraid they are going to outgrow the box and start encroaching on our neighbours plots. Aphids are abounding on most of our stuff but we've been killing them manually so far. These photos don't really do the garden justice, but if you could've seen this area as the empty gravel lot it was before the community garden moved in, you'd realize the transformation. So far it's a lot of fun. Maybe I finally had to come to the city to be a country farmer type, but let's not get too carried away.

Use Safers soap, or a tablespoon of castille soap (like Dr. Bronner's) to a liter of water, spray on the aphid death.

Ahh... I forgot about bronners. I will try it.
the kids and I just got a garden plot this year too! I think I was more excited than they...
I noticed yesterday my neighbor plot had aphid on their tomato, so I squished 'em. There was a ladybug there too, so that's good. You can also buy ladybugs.
Happy gardening
