Welcome to GrubRoot.

You'll find more info about your wonderful host by checking out my profile to the right.... yeah.... over there ------------>

I'm starting off this blog, even though I've semi started it already via facebook, with a bit about my garden. It seemed the place to begin w/ a name like grubroot.

I grow my own herbs. I wish I could grow a lot more, but my apartment doesn't allow for much good sunlight. I'm proud of what I've accomplished w/ very little previous knowledge of gardening. I currently have Italian Parsley, Chives, Rosemary (above), Green Onions, Dill, Tarragon, Serrano Peppers(right), 4 types of tomatoes, and 2 semi-dwarf citrus trees. Lavender,

I've built myself an upside down tomato plant setup capable of holding 4 (maybe 5) plants at once. It was a cheap an easy solution that allows me to grow the plants with the tomatoes expanding the size of the plant (via gravity) rather than weighing it down and resulting in tomatoes growing in the dirt. Results have been promising.


The addition of a garden, besides the simple luxury of never having to deal with packaged or bunched herbs again, is only part of my commitment to improve my life and the world's. I hope to continue to expand it, and (unfortunately) replace my current growth.
