Something I forgot
This poor site barely ever gets an update nowadays and the reason is simple, I just don’t plant or grow anything of late. The reason for that is that whilst we are buying a house Tracey and I are in limbo, staying with her father and not having any space to ourselves.
I forgot then the first rule of urban cultivation, there is always room for something to grow.
All you have to do is look at plants that against all odds grow in places where they just plain shouldn’t, in between cracks in concrete for instance. It’s crazy but they still find a way. As the quote goes from one of my favourite books: Life always finds a way.
So this morning I ducked out to the local hardware centre and picked up some seaweed fertilizer, a couple of packets of seeds and a really cheap sprayer.
I’ve got a couple of plants that are still kicking so I’ve given them a bit of a boost and started preparing a couple of small pots for some herbs that I use regulary and have never had a huge success with:
- Chives
- Parsley
Cheers everyone who have come back after shockingly seeing Urban Cultivation show up in their feedreaders again! I’ll try not to leave it so long again.

Hurrah! Chives!
I have grown very little this year. Just stiff that has survived from last year. My chives and some gooseberries.
Next year will be different. I’m currently in negotiation to go part time at work and so that will free up a lot of my time to play in the garden.

Oh good Dan I know who one of the people who have left the site in their RSS - now to find the other guy
As soon as we move (and I get re-employed) we’ll be growing a lot.

My chives are flowering at the moment. I am going to just let it happen and next season (with luck) new crops will appear in our rented garden
