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

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...

Yes, but our new garden is an exercise in insanity... er, I mean cooperation. When it was just my garden, it was much smaller -- and I still required help to keep it going. There's a lot to be said for container gardening, especially the part where there aren't any weeds. ;)
