The long promised balcony garden pics!
I finally figured out how to get my camera to talk to my computer. It was...uh, operator error. *hangs head*
A couple of long shots taken about a month ago:
#1 - Beginning at the far end - Early Girl tomato, 2 Anaheim peppers, Green Sausage tomato (which is a real shrubby little bush)
#2 - petunias, herbs and my little mini bell pepper:
So this is earlier in the spring - my snow pea vines:
And one of the little jewels - they weren't exactly plentiful but they were yummy:
My 3 cucumber vines growing on a square, metal collapsible tomato cage (with a view of the end of the balcony:
The vines have become so big that they touch the balcony ceiling. I'm going to have to top them or they'll start crawling onto the roof and I'll never catch them:
My little Red Robin cherry tomato in a hanging basket. First in bloom then in fruit:
My little Meyer Lemon tree. It already had 3 lemons when I bought it then there was one glorious smelling blossom that fell off to reveal this tiny little fellow:
My little mini bell peppers are beginning to come in. Since they'll be in all different stages of growth it'll be very colorful in a couple of weeks:
And my Anaheims which I've been enjoying with my breakfast and this week I'm going to make some wilted slaw with to go with some fried fish:
And finally my herbs. In the long box from far to near: thyme, spicy oregano and the fern-leaf dill I planted from seed. Then another pick showing my garlic chives starting to send up blossom stalks:
So there you go, a tour of my tiny pocket garden. Hope you enjoyed the show.
