Things are starting to pick up here as we approach mid-summer. We will be moving in less than two weeks, staying with Grandma for the rest of the summer. Before our big move, I wanted to document what's going on in our humble little patio garden. Enjoy!
 |
| The whole patio crew. Rosemary, basil from seed, basil from starters (we got impatient!), spinach , cilantro, lemon thyme, super sweet 100 cherry tomato, angora cherry tomato, and rutgers tomato. |
 |
| Plastic windowboxes for basil (lime and sweet) and spinach. The spinach went to seed before we even dared pick any. Perhaps it got too much sun too quickly. |
 |
| The first proof that these seedlings really will turn out to be cilantro! Funny how the first two leaves look nothing like the actual plant. |
 |
| Lemon thyme from a generous friend :-) |
 |
| Verbenum - left over from the group we planted out front. |
 |
| A couple weeks later (just the other day)- cilantro abounds! |
 |
| Funny story - we got an orange mint plant from a wedding last summer, potted it, and threw it out when it died. In the meantime, it had sent out a runner that took root in the cement crack. Now this year we have an entirely new mint plant. Mint is CRAZY! |
 |
| The Angora cherry plant has far surpassed the others! |
 |
| Angora cherry tomatoes starting to grow |
 |
| In our hanging sweet potato vine basket, a mother robin has built a nest. It wasn't until uploading this picture that I realized there's an EGG in there! See it?! |
 |
| The Super sweet 100 tomato - not looking like it will produce even 10, let alone 100 tomatoes. Oh well, at least the basil is thriving! |

Oh fun! It looks wonderful :) I haven't made it to a farmer's market yet, but I better get my act together so I can have a patio garden too!
