building an urban garden

this is my "pepper patch"....jalapenos, chiles, pimentos, bell peppers, etc

this is garlic that has been in my family since my grandpa brought it from Italy in the 1920s

this is some growth on the tomatoes--i tie them to the sticks every week or two

i planted 8-10 eggplants [purple and white] around the pine tree--they are a beautiful vegetable...

i tried to have a compost pile in the back corner, made out of bricks...it took discipline though to turn it over and keep it wet, to make sure it would get "hot"
