I decided to try my hand at gardening this year (thanks for the tips, Mama!) and due to the lack of an abundantly sunny area in my backyard, I opted to plant my garden in large pots. I arranged them near my front door, which I admit might look a bit odd to passers by, but it's the sunniest portion of my property. I've already noted a few things I'll do differently next time, but I am having a great time tending to my garden and seeing the new growth almost daily. I have already been enjoying my leaf lettuce and basil for a few weeks now, and am excited to make my first Troy Street Salad complete with Heirloom tomato, cucumber, and green pepper.
