Growing culinary delights

[lady_karelia]

I totally get a kick out of harvesting herbs minutes before I use them, and I use them a lot. And when I was hunting for herbs, I found a few tomato plants as well, and our balcony isn't quite as exposed as the patio last year was, so I'm hoping for a crop of tomatoes, too. Oh, and I couldn't resist the habanero pepper of course.





The first of two TopsyTurvies, which ariadne1 gifted me, with the tomato plant who doesn't know it's supposed to grow upside down.



Three tomatoes in the making. Yes, I know they're tiny. But I'm watching them grow. ;)

Hanging tomatoes, not upside down



Sitting kitchen garden with lavender, English thyme, rosemary, and habanero pepper



The as yet developed tomato patch (with lemon basil on the left), which will be tended to after I find more organic soil. Garden center had only two bags left.


Now, to name the garden...

Today mind you, what a co-winkydink. I hacked back my rosemary to make room for the parsley that wasn't getting enough light because of them. I had oodles and oodles of clippings. I hadn't hacked at them before because I knew I didn't want to toss it, but a sorta-friend just opened a restaurant, so we dropped them by. And the mint.

I still have 3 oversized fistfulls of rosemary. And the bushes look barely pruned. Yeah, rosemary gets big fast.
