It's nearly 9am and the boys are still in bed. I had every intention of getting up earlier than I did, but I thought I'd treat myself to the extra hour. I think I'll let them sleep a bit more so I can have some quiet time. I've been meaning to check up on our little "garden" all week, so I'll do that today and clean up the house a little. Just a little.
Here are a few shots of our new container garden. Despite how large our yard is, it's a jungle of weeds at the moment. One of these days we'll actually get in there to landscape it and have a proper in-ground garden. Until then, I'm hoping these little pots will survive my not-so-green-thumb:
The garden
Meyer Lemon
Roma Tomato
Red Bell Pepper
Suhyo Cucumber
Strawberries
Colin is tickled to see that miniature green tomatoes formed while we were away for a few days:
I also have several herbs growing inside which I started from seed. Unfortunately, while we were gone, some of them succumbed to lack of watering. I'll have to sow a few more to replace the ones that don't look so hot.
From L to R (top to bottom): basil "Genovese", oregano, flat leaf parsley, spearmint and tarragon, lemon balm, boxwood basil, German and Roman chamomile, zinnia "Envy" (not an herb, but started as seed), sweet basil, more flat leaf parsley with peppermint in the background:
Here's to a fruitful year!
