Our first post

Welcome to our first blog post!

It is March 03 and we finally got our seeds planted for the new year. It is also the perfect time to start this blog!

If you have walked by the first block of Fillmore street in San Francisco last summer, you saw a lot of wild flowers blooming around the trees. That was the result of a little experiment we tried. We wanted to see what we could grow around the trees in our neighborhood. It turns out that after cleaning up a lot of trash, and putting down a little extra potting soil, you can actually grow quite a bit. We had so much fun keeping working on the flowers we wanted to do it again this year.

This year we built fences around 5 of the trees on the first block of Fillmore.
We used wood and some green fencing that we think will hold up a little better than the ones did last year. One of the trees has a daisy bush that we planted last year and it has really taken off. We are going to leave that to continue growing and really take root. We are going to do one other tree with some annuals but the remaining three on the block will be wild flowers. They really worked well last year so we hope they will again. We planted one tree of "Oregon Wildflowers" another tree has a "Bird and Butterfly" mix and the last one has a "Cut Flowers" mix. We have picked these up at various places over the last year. Lets hope they all bloom.

Now is the hardest part. Waiting for the seeds to sprout.
