{ roof garden }

I've never had much of a green thumb...

back in California I had visions of a lovely rooftop garden

but my plants always withered away shortly after purchase

that was until my lovely AP biology teacher roommate

brought them back to life. THANKS S!

Living in NYC, I crave green. 

Green grass, green rolling hills, green vegetables, anything green.

so H and I decided we'd make a rooftop garden attempt

One quick trip to Home Depot

and we had our seeds, soil and cute gardening gloves. 

We planted, and watered

and then I got busy but I watered when I could 

and then I got busier and kind of forgot about our garden

but last night we decided to garden again and...

there was a garden! on our rooftop! success! 

We did it! Our garden certainly could have used a little more love

but what love we did give it paid off!  

mixed greens, cabbage, beans & cute little carrots. 

we harvested, chopped, cooked 

& had a lovely rooftop garden feast.

I'm truly amazed what a little seed, sun and some water can do. 

There will definitely be a next time & you're all invited for the feast!
