Summer Hobby: Extreme Container Gardeining

Well the weather is getting warmer and the plants are growing strong!  This summer I am keeping the tradition of filling my tiny balconies with as many yummy fruits and vegetables as humanly possible.  This year is crazy...

                                 For now, our garden includes...

                 lettuce (Romaine, G. L. Head, & Buttercrunch)                                    Spinach 

potatoes (our successful experiment)

                                                    eggplant

                 tomatoes (Cherry Red, Super Fantastic, and Early Girl)

 broccoli

                       green bell peppers

                          onions (Yellow Sweet Spanish)
                             green beans
         strawberries
                                   lemon thyme

                                      rosemary        

chives                                         tarragon

                                          cilantro

                                                  lavender
and an exorbitant amount of basil

!

we also have Russian Mammoth Sunflowers and a very large and healthy (and pointy) raspberry bush.  However, we are cheaters... those are not out front... they won't fit.  :)

I have already made a salad using the lettuce and it is SO GOOD! I can't wait for tomatoes!

... and, yes, my landlord thinks I am insane.
