Can I call this an Urban Homestead yet?

Maybe I should refer to it as an Urban Homestead in the Making. Anyhow, here’s our update for the time being:

After five days and at least 5 attempts at fixing the broken sprinklers, Justin finally managed to put in one five-foot section of fence. And has not touched it since. Z wants to paint it red. We’re still discussing color palates. Considering Justin’s enthusiasm to get it done, I think we have time.

Our cucumbers are trying to climb. I’ve yet to find them something worth climbing on. On second thought, I think I’ll let it crawl.

We have a few promising tomatoes and our bell peppers are growing. Finally.

We’ve been plucking off a lot of these little boogers from our grapevine who is looking pretty stressed out about it all:

Potato plant is doing well. It’s leaves curl in the heat but relax in the evening again. I’m considering finding a less sunny spot.

Justin has just been put on massive overtime (84 hours a week!). Not so good for finishing off the big projects. But still good!
