I LOVE gardening!!
I live 12 stories up (far less bugs) & I face west so I get a LOT of sun. Right now I have 3 different species of Tomatoes, Beefstake, a yellow kind, & Cherry, all 3 are a little over a foot tall & have MANY branches as I've been snipping the suckers (I think thats what dad called them). I have a Habinaro plant that is about 5" tall, darn thing took 2 months to sprout.. I thought it was a failed plant, but nope, its looking good. 3 Bean plants, & my suicidal Pea plant, its been giving me peas all winter long (YUM). Thats it for veggies, as I can't grow any crawling plants on the Balcony.
I have a strawberry plant that has given me berries all winter long. I accidently killed 90% of the poor plant, so its slowly recovering
I also have Thyme, Coriander, Dill, Rosemary, Marjarum (sp?), Lemon Basil, Parsley, Chives & several others (they slip my mind right now). I have 10 in total I believe.
The Thyme & the Parsley have been growing since last summer, so they are lovely plants & I've been cooking with them both. The other herbs are about a week old, so they are tiny; 2 haven't sprouted yet.
I need a new bag of dirt to transplant the tomatoes into their permant pots. Then I need to get a larger pot for the Habinaro, & med sized pots for the herbs when they get larger.
I LOVE plants. I also have many many many other plants in the house. When my spider Plants have too many babies, I pick some off & give hem away.
