It's Been a While

Since I updated anyone who cares on my garden's progress.

I gave up on the cukes after a freak cold snap shocked the crap out of them. I just tore them out and put them out of their misery. The nasturtium also succumbed to that freak cold snap, as did a couple of the basil. However, everything that survived is going to live through just about anything, I think.

Four jalapenos and one habanero. I'm pretty sure the habanero
is going to die because it hasn't grown at all in like...
2 months. 


THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE (salvia)!!

Salvia is just a fancy way of saying "sage," by the way. I was planning on giving the salvia to my mother-in-law for her yard, but then I found out that she's allergic to sage. So... I'm keeping it. If I like it, I might even winter it inside.

The only habanero that's actually thriving.
I think it's a habanero, anyway. Either that or a
jalapeno. I hope it's a habanero.

Two Roma tomatoes and five basil.

A different angle of the 'maters and basil.

The butterfly bush.

I had two butterfly bushes, and I gave the other one to my mother-in-law. To my surprise and glee, she said she's always wanted one. So yay! I hope it doesn't die. I also gave her four tomato plants (two of which are definitely Roma, the other two might be Big Boys).

I really had to restrain myself from keeping all of my little seedlings, but I'm glad I only kept a few. Last year, my balcony was so full of plants that it was just messy. This year, it actually looks nice out there!

  1. I WANT all of your plants!!! So bad. I love growing plants. I have a Rosemary bush and a basil bush on our balcony. Speaking of which... I need to go water! :)
