Figs are growing on the tiny (under 2 ft) fig tree that we planted this May. Very surprising.

One couple, one yard: figuring it out as we go along
My husband Matt and I live in a single family house (built 1936) in Northeast Baltimore City with our three dogs, Violet (a whippet), Pippi (a tiny dachshund) and Elvis (a pug). We are lucky enough to have a backyard that is 45 feet wide and 236 feet long. To put it in perspective, the house I had rented before we got married had the more typical Baltimore City rowhouse yard dimensions of 12 feet wide and 6 feet long.
While Matt does much of the hard labor (and has become quite obsessed with gardening) I do most of the planning, vegetable tending and of course, all of the photography.
Look for updates of what is in bloom, what has changed and what we are planting throughout the year.

Figs! I love figs! Hope yours survived the winter! I stumbled across your blogpost as I began trying to amass leads to Baltimore-area nurseries; my husband and I are new urbanites/retirees/determined NOT to replicate the 1/3 acre horticulture wonderland that we created in Montgomery County, but instead create a quiet refuge (with a fig tree, some roses, perhaps a gingko, a water feature, I'd love a fire pit . . . . I hope that you are going to continue posting reports of your urban garden; it seems to be the best source of information I've found so far! Re: composting: I'm sure you figured that out, too; have you tackled worm bins yet? Hoping to see more posts, thanks again! Sue
