In our new apartment, we are lucky enough to have a nice size balcony and lots of sun. I started planning our garden in February – drawing diagrams, researching plants, and buying/starting seeds. Our garden is doing really well so far - we have been having really nice weather to help things along. These are some pictures I took a few weeks ago – everything looks different already. The top right photo is of live plants that we ordered online – that came just like that in the mail. We have morning glories growing on a rose arch – they are already over 3 feet high, had TONS of flower buds, and it looks like we might see our first bloom tomorrow or the next day. Our peas are going crazy – we have lots and lots of pea pods growing now and more coming. Our tomato plant is now at least triple the size it is in this picture – it has several buds as well that are starting to bloom. Our petunias are doing wonderfully– I counted over 20 blooming flowers today. It is nice to see all the effort in our urban garden paying off – it isn’t even officially summer yet… I am excited to see how things go over the next few months. No doubt, I will be writing more about it and posting more pictures.
