Missing My City Garden

Some days I miss my little garden in the city (Johannesburg).

The bushes I planted have now since matured, making it look more lush than this

My tenant also happens to be a very close friend and somehow, I've managed to infect her with the gardening bug since she moved in.

Start Small

You don't have to be a passionate gardener who wants to grow all your family's fresh consumption to grow your own food.

You can start small,  growing a salad or herb patch, or maybe even include a soup garden.

Or you could grow one or two fruit trees, as did my friend Lynn, who has little interest in growing the bulk of her food and loves to buy her vegetables from Fruit & Veg City and The Food Lover's Market.

Still, she was very proud of her very first lemon.
