It was such a beautiful day on Tuesday, I wanted to get outside! I'd bought some seeds and bulbs with the intention of potting some of them for TAD or guerrilla gardening around our sometimes not-so-spiffy neighborhood. It's not so guerrilla, but I decided to spruce up the outside of our warehouse loft building by pulling the weeds in one of the tree spaces in the sidewalk. It was kinda gross, since people just throw trash and leave dog poo everywhere. But once I got all the weeds and trash out, the dirt was really quite nice. I wasnt expecting there to be so many earthworms! There were also a lot of grubs which i threw into the road and the pigeons ate. I wore my heavy duty gloves, but I'm still glad I didnt find any hypodermics or anything too gross. (I did find an unopened can of tuna fish and half a pre-packaged cheese danish* though). The bulbs are planted, and the seeds sown, but it's not so impressive looking yet. I cant wait for the seeds and bulbs to start shooting up greens! I am also bad at remembering to take "before" pictures. But here is one of the tree next to the little plot I did. *Just a thought: If half a pre-packaged cheese danish can sit in a flower bed for an undetermined amount of time under some weeds and pouring rains, and still be identifiable as a cheese danish (it was in almost perfect condition) why would we EVER want to put that in our bodies?
