Japanese gardening for your apartment
Being a New Yorker means a few things, one such thing is not having a yard or … space of any sort. Another such thing is not having a lot of access to living green things. It seems that people in Tokyo have those same problems in a worse way, less space and less green. Fortunately they’ve solved that problem… check out the garden frames!
Those are totally cool, I’d probably try to grow something more better than grass - you know something that might grow a little taller and less uniformly - but that is totally cool. They have some other kinds here, but those are my favourite.
While I’m talking about gardening and japanese, the other day I had the notion that I wanted to have a dwarf japanese maple in my place. I found Wildwood Farm in my search and sent them an email telling them about how little light my apartment gets (maybe an hour of direct sunlight a day and then I pretty much live in a cave for the rest of the 23 hours of the day) as well as my nearly psychopathic ability to kill plants. He said that anyone could raise one in their apartment just pick a small one. So, I may throw caution and 40 to 60 bucks to the wind and try my hand at this. If you’ve got any experience with this yourself, please let me know! Wish me and my prospective maple luck, we’ll need it.
