THE APARTMENT CREW consists of Carli, Travis, and Lara Kate. As three young college students living away from home, we have discovered that all we have to work with for the gardens are at our personal apartments. Because we do not have a lot of space, we decided to give each person several things to grow based on the locations, weather conditions, and available spaces at each apartment. We will take advantage of containers, pots, and window boxes that we have used previously, gotten from available resources, or a reasonable price for our gardens. We get a lot of sun at two of the apartments where the tomatoes, lettuce, carrots, onions, and broccoli will be planted in pots and hanging baskets on the porch and inside climate controlled rooms. We will plant some of the herbs in the apartment that does not get a lot of sun, as well as in the shade at the other two apartments. The herbs include rosemary, lemon chives, dill, parsley, oregano, basil, thyme, and cilantro.
So far, we have purchased and gotten the containers ready. We have also picked out, distributed, and planted the seeds to see what all will come out first, and what other challenges that we are going to have to work with. We will try our best to keep up with everything, making adjustments as we go along. Our mission is to show that an apartment/dorm living college student can maintain a small garden for personal enjoyment. Who knows? Maybe this could end up saving the life of college students some money, time, unhealthy diets, and pollen distribution!!
