FIRST LOOK AT THE CRANKY GARDEN!

One of our latest projects is a garden on the back-porch of our building.  We’ve been adding plants and developing the garden for over a month now.  There is now an amazing 45 individual plants living back there! It is our personal experiment in urban gardening!

It consists of mostly annual flowers and some various spices/herbs. We’re looking to expand into more vegetable plants, but will likely wait until next year since we’re late in the season. Sad to say that summer is dwindling.

We are going to begin documenting the process along with offering any information we may discover during this fiasco. We are already figuring out different strategies that seem to work. It’s all trial and error baby!

I started Cranky Yellow in 2005 and I haven't stopped for a moment moving forward. I oversee nearly everything CY related. In my free time I enjoy biology, crafting monsters and assorted philosophy.
