Ever since I moved out in to my first apartment, I’ve been keeping small gardens on windowsills or balconies. Last year I didn’t get to because I moved July first and didn’t want to add more plants to the list of things that needed to be brought from one city to another. Now that I am in a new place with lots of sun, I plan on taking full advantage. Last week I planted some of the early bird seeds, 2 kinds of tomatoes. And to mix it up, some California poppies that Jaimee gave me.
Every day, I check on them and see how much they’ve grown. Who needs kids anyway? I’m considering buying them a growth chart. That SO wouldn’t be ‘crazy plant lady’-like. Oh maybe that will be my thing since I don’t have the credentials to be a crazy cat lady. Moving right along, some other things I plan on growing: Basil, Mint, Parsley, Cucumbers, Zucchini. Maybe some carrots, beets and radishes.
And if you are also a city dweller looking for some inspiration, check this post out over at the selby. The sky is the limit guys, get out there and plant something!
awesome! look at you and your little green thumb. ;)
I don’t have the credentials to be a crazy cat lady either but I sure do pass the test when it comes to crazy plant lady! I can take an small Ikea plant and make it grow 5 feet tall – seriously :) Every summer we fill our outdoor patio with loads of flowers, herbs, and 3 different kinds of tomatoes. I like to take the cherry tomatoes and simmer them with some garlic and basil and then throw it over some pasta. Mmmm…
I need to do this! Such a great idea, I live in a condo so I don’t really have much room for planting outside…gorgeous photo btw!
