What's the deal with PlantSomething?

Here it is: I'm a guy who lives in an apartment in Brooklyn, and I love to plant and grow things.

I grew up with a family that had huge gardens and I've always been into the magic of the process, and the good feeling that comes with having lots of greenery all over the place.

For a long time, I've had lots of houseplants around, but in the last few years I've been lucky enough to live somewhere with a backyard. My landlord was nice enough to let us take over part of it, and we've been growing ever since - delicious heirloom tomatoes, all kinds of peppers, salad greens, herbs, radishes, peas, beans and so on.

I'm hoping to have all kinds of people posting on here who are growing stuff - from people growing a houseplant or two in their apartment, people growing veggies on a rooftop, to a folks working full-time on farms.

The idea is that anyone can grow a plant. It's easy, fun and good for you!

Feel free to contact me with questions, post comments, or volunteer to write a post about anything having to do with planting, growing or gardening.
