We have a vegetable garden in the backyard of our Bed Stuy brownstone. Tomatoes, peppers, basil. We’ve never planted a thing in our lives and we don’t cook. But here’s a DIY to vegetable gardening.
1. Get tenants with an interest in gardening.
2. Share backyard with said tenants.
3. Tell them you’re too busy renovating the interior of the house (not a lie) so the backyard is their baby.
4. Skip town while the work is being done.
5. Try to keep the dogs from eating and shitting on the veggies.
6. Reap what they sow.

If you got it good like that, more power to you!
Test for lead!!! One hundred years of water draining down paint into soil like this poisoned my friend’s child. Do not take this lightly.
Yeah, my husband doesn’t want to partake because he fears lead, but I pick a few when Mr. Tenant says I can. I wouldn’t worry about me as I won’t be eating enough to kill me, but I’ll pass it along….
