Our fake backyard

“Our fake backyard”

First of all you should know that we have a fake backyard. What it really is it’s actually an alley way out of our house that has a wall at the end. We call it our backyard and it was the selling point when I rented my apartment. We live in the city and to have a private backyard is very rare. It’s really small but if Little Sassa wants to go out and play she can go by herself. I just open the kitchen door and she is fine. She cannot get out nobody can get in and there is nothing for her to get into.
The worst part of having our fake backyard is that there is no dirt. BUT we do have stuff growing out of cracks in the wall, I have no idea what they are. One might be a vine and I think the other is a tree, I plan on keeping an eye on that one.
For the last couple of weeks Little Sassa and I have been watching some flowers we planted in our yard. Since we have no dirt in our fake yard we have a pot garden. No not that kind! The kind where you grow all of your plants in pots. Most of them were from Sunflower plants which are coming along great. There are no flowers as of yet but I hear they can grow to be really big. Anyways the excitement of the week has been the dinky plant we’d all given up on. Me & Little Sassa kept watching and watching to see if anything sprout. Nothing ever grew. Finally this weekend I saw a tiny weensy sprout. It’s slowly growing into something, how exciting. I plan on updating the pictures every so often so hopefully it grows into something pretty.
If you need us for the next 3 months you can find us in our fake backyard. We will be treating it just like a real backyard and knowing us probably even having a BBQ. Watch out because we play baseball back there and it’s really easy to hit one out of the park. : )
