Medford Gardener

Hi everybody! Noah and I have been having fun with our first urban garden. It seemed a bit daunting at first, but "Crockett's Victory Garden" has convinced us that gardening in Boston is possible, and we're no longer limited to container gardening for our landlord has given us full reign of the yard!!

Sweet Basil


Herbs have been a little more challenging to grow, but our basil plants seem to be doing alright. They were planted just shortly after the tomatoes on the 12th of February, but they have not grown very much comparably. We also planted lettuce, onion and chives that day, and these have all stayed fairly small. The lettuce plants have already been moved into a cold frame in our backyard, but we will save a seperate post for that.

The great thing about these little basil plants is that they already smell like yummy pesto!
