apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Name: The Simonses
Location: East Boston, MA
Type of space: Garden
Tell us about your outdoor project and how you enjoy it: We decided to rent our current space after falling in love with the spacious back porch and large (albeit overgrown) backyard. We moved in the spring and set out some containers with tomatoes and herbs, which flourished. This year, we have transformed an unruly yard into a healthy and spacious garden. We planted the necessities for spring, summer and fall cooking — herbs, salad greens, plenty of tomatoes for canning, berries for freezer jam, peppers and cukes for pickling and squash and pumpkins! We look forward to our bounty as well as sharing with friends and neighbors.
