Martha's Garden Tip, pg. 2

Today, Martha is going to Hike to Cross River Reservoir, Plant vegetables with Jude and Truman (her grandchildren) and Harvest green and purple asparagus. We're going to hike to Smorgasburg, where we will possibly eat some vegetables, and possible some of those will be asparagus. I'll let you know.

I am going to sort of plant a vegetable. Martha suggests lining antique garden urns with a plastic trash bag after poking holes in the bottom of the bag, so that soil doesn't leak out of the cracks. I have a lot of old pots in our court yard that have sitting, unused for 2 and a half years. I bought a thyme plant today so that I can use the fresh thyme in a recipe later on. A few sprigs of thyme are $3.99 at Whole Foods, or $2.50 for the entire plant at our local gardening store (which is actually a little flower store.) My pots weren't antique urns, but little pots with cracks. I'm a little nervous that they're going to be stolen out of our front yard, so I'm trying to hide them on the stoop steps.
