Urban Gardening is Work!
We are not some suburbanites with a lawn and a garage full of weed-killers and power tools! We have a $3.97 trowel, a 12 inch rake and a couple of plastic food service preparation gloves, but what choice did we have? It was the $3.97 tin trowel or the measuring trowel made of plastic! Do not ask me what is a measuring trowel, how would I know?
I mean we're talking serious wood-chipped concrete covered clay root-balls here! Urban gardening is no joke!
See those tomatoes? Well, that's no picket fence they're up against! And the tiny impatiens, out there among the relentless commuters and the dirt deprived dogs and the cigarette butts, protected by a string? Nobody gave us any wrought iron tree guards.
Never mind! We are the Urban Planting Volunteers, and we are armed with Faith!
