Adventures in Gardening and Poor Photography

You can't tell from these photos, but my garden doesn't get a lot of direct sunlight. It's underneath a stairway at my apartment building, and as such, gets bright brilliant sun for maybe two hours a day on the days when there is bright brilliant sun to be had in Portland.

Apparently this results in extremely tall versions of plants:


Two foot tall broccoli, anyone?

I had to stake my spinach plants. Stake my spinach plants:


Stem salad: the wave of the future.

My tomato plant is at least properly proportioned!


These photos are terrible, but the concrete I was standing on was really hot.

And look! Produce!


Snap pea & stem salad coming right up!

Thus concludes your virtual garden update.

ETA: Dear Livejournal + iPhone: I GIVE UP. I GIVE UP SERIOUSLY. I even re-saved these things on my computer to make sure they were oriented properly. Just refuse to post photos right-side-up ever, and see if I care. I'm so mad I think I will go eat some stems.
