The Container Garden...

I love to garden... so I've tried to maximize our back patio/deck to grow as many plants as possible. For those of you who haven't seen our patio... it's small... you can fit 2 folding chairs and a t.v. tray back there comfortably. Here's the garden as of today....

The pinto beans that went to seed when I soaked them in water to prepare for the next nights dinner, but wasn't able to get to them in time before they sprouted. I just decided to plant them instead of tossing them out... well see how they turn out... I've never seen what a pinto bean looks like as a pod. (this is like day 7 or so from when I first soaked the beans)


The eggplant I got from a farmers market downtown...


Blueberries... yes, I actually grew blueberries!!! and they are delicious! I read online that the first year is the most crucial though... so I'm not sure if they will last until next year since we don't have any ground to plant them in. I'm hoping they will do good as house plants over the winter.


Some Spring mix and dill...


Fresh herbs: (Left to right) Tarragon, Savory, Italian Parsley, Rosemary, Sage,
Cilantro, Oregano, Thyme, Majoram, and basil.


and sweet yellow peppers (the kind that are small)
