Thriftary Goes Green



You know how people always say that the grass is greener on the other side? Well it really is, in every sense of the term. When Burley and I lived in GA,  we had a beautiful yard, front and back. Did I ever garden? no. Did I try and grow some flowers in a pot once? Yes. Did I apply myself to keeping them alive?  No. Did they die? Yes.

However, now that I am living in this cute little loft that I love, I am YEARNING for the earth. I want to tend a garden more than anything. But here I am, 3 stories up. No grass.

And then... A miracle happened, in the form of an infomercial creation.

Last week I was at the grocery store, and I saw this little guy on sale. HAAAAAAAAAALELUJAH.

I have never purchased an ASOTV product (that is how they say "As Seen on TV" in LA I bet) before... but I thought... what the heck. I want a garden & this little guy looks like he may be able to give me what I need. So have moved forward with zeal, an added a few more additions.....






I am not sure if tomatoes can grow in a window. I am not sure if my herbs will survive long enough for me to make more than 1 batch of pesto and a mojito... but I do know that Mace Face is lovin' it... and for a moment my heart is satisfied. As well as my geen thumb.

  2. Thanks for the encouragement, Leah! The Tomatoes were quite a long shot... but I am hoping I can love them to life. I will be sure to keep you posted. If our next place has a balcony, I will be sure to hit you up and ask for tips :)
