after spending all that time last night moving everything that wasn’t stepped on off the roof, i woke up this morning to see that there were workmen stripping paint off our apartment building. old housepaint, right over where i had just moved every single one of my surviving plants. basically this is the end of my apartment gardening attempt for right now. i still have the community garden and i’m not giving up on that, but i just threw out basically 2 months worth of work in the course of less than a day and i’m feeling really discouraged. the landlord says it’s my fault and she doesn’t care. that’s cool.

edit: ok, i hate the way this sounds so here’s more detail. i have some sprouts inside (1 bean, 2 tomatoes, 2 each of 5 different lettuces) but all the nearly grown/fully grown vegetables (10?), 15 lobelias, 5 tomatoes, 2 cauliflowers, and about 40 lettuce sprouts are in the dumpster now. if i had planted that much in the garden i’d expect to lose about a third of it. ITS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD, BUCK UP MCGOWAN
