Thanks to my sister and her wonderful package of vegetable/flower seeds, I was able to start a little garden on our balcony. My dream home would have about 10 acres of land for all this tomfoolery, but I have a cute little balcony and it'll do for now.
Things have come a long way since I started the seeds in the eggshells a few weeks ago- everything but the rosemary is transplanted and growing!
Chives:
Summer squash:
Petunias:
Sweet Basil
Thyme:
Squash/cucumber trellis:
The afore-mentioned squash and cucumber:
A little visitor we had this afternoon:
By the way: butterflies? only pretty from far away. Close up, they are aliens with giant powdery wings. My camera took these at 1/1250th of a second. I love my Sony a580!
Also growing on my balcony are:
jalapenos
sweet banana peppers
thyme
basil
oregano
sweet peas (the flower)
cherry tomatoes
Parsley
Shasta daisies
All of this is mostly a way to get Arianne to come over and hang out with me! We'll get our goats and chickens one day, Arianne!
