BabyCat's concrete behind apartment garden

Garden Type: Edible | Sun: Full Sun | Soil: Combination I'm Organic!

There is a slip of a concrete box likely used for…well I am not sure. It had fallen to disuse and was full of trees. For two years we pondered cleaning it up and growing in it. Sadly I live in the ghetto so there was beer bottles and just all manner of detritus in it. Mr. Cat cleaned it out and we dumped a whole bunch of Organic dirt in there. Had some potatoes that sprouted so we planted them. In addition some cabbage, carrots and spring onions went in. The gutters overflowed a few times and dumped water in there but the potatoes are growing so well it’s crazy. Dang unruly set of twins were found standing on in the box on the carrots but they didn’t do too much damage. Ug the joys of city living.
