on two wheels in Los Angeles

This weekend we took a bike ride around leg lake park in the Whittier narrows park. At first we started off riding around the park. I noticed in the distance a bike trail sign. We made our way towards the sign and we discovered the San Gabriel River. It was a great ride, with trails going here and there. We did end up in a completely opposite part of the park when we went down the bike trail.

trying to turn my thumb green.

We finally got the soil we needed, and had the walkway that goes around the garage cleared out. Now let's hope that something will continue to grow! We planted broccoli, strawberries, yellow tomatoes, thai chili peppers, and serrano chilies...
I also have blackberry roots growing in large pots! I am hoping they will take so i can have blackberries along my fence...

Spring time is here

Here a few pics of the blossoms that are blooming in my yard..The pink ones, I am not to sure what they are, but they are from a bush in my front yard.. The the one that bears fruit is from the meyer lemon tree in the back of the garage.

the not so green thumb.

This is my first attempt at gardening, i love the notion of being able to plant and harvest your own vegetables.. Most of my back yard is either concert or on a hill, with not much room to plant stuff. About a month a go i discovered that the back of the garage hand some untouched land, but on a hill. I wanted to build a leveled raised garden bed,but chris didn't want anything to permanent. So we talked about using tires.you grow girlI saw one cute one on the website you grow girl.. I did do a little more research on tire planting and found this websitebackwoodshome, they have a whole article on the benefits of tire planting..lets hope i can grow something. i also bought some blackberry plants, and the trellis is for them.. I cant wait to see it covered with blackberries!
