Coined in 1973 by Liz Christy and her Green Guerrilla group in New York City, guerrilla gardening uses “seed grenades” as a way of introducing vegetation to empty lots in NYC in order to make the city look better. Sure, people do actually plant some of them, but I think throwing them is much more fun. Plan a mission.

I am SO excited about our garden this year! We have had gardens in the past, but I usually get excited at first then quickly lose interest. It doesn’t help that I do not have a green thumb! This year we have three 4×4 square foot garden beds. I planted a lot of different veggies, herbs, and a few flowers.

History In 2006 I planted fruit trees, in anticipation of retiring and having time to pick and use the harvest. I planted them that fall, a dwarf pie cherry, an Elberta peach, a Lodi apple and a Braeburn apple. The Lodi put on a couple of apples, the cherry tree grew, the Braeburn flowered and the peach tree had several peaches.
