My garden is exploding! These pictures were taken May 8th. In this first picture the sugar snap peas are on the left and have now grown past the trellis, not sure what my plan is now for that...There are no peas growing yet. To the right of the SSP are the green beans; these are not as tall but very full and the leaves are huge. In front of the green beans are green onions which you cannot see because of the large leaves hovering over them, hopefully they will still produce some green onions!
In the first planter in the picture on the right is Italian flat leaf parsley, lettuce, chives, and cilantro. The large pot to its right is my Roma Tomatoes which are growing very nicely and have some little yellow flowers on them which should turn into tomatoes!
Next to the tomatoes is a slightly smaller pot with bell peppers. This plant has been growing the slowest of them all so we shall see what summer brings if it decided to produce bell peppers or not : /
Behind the bell pepper is more lettuce, which started off slow but are doing better now. To the right of the bell pepper are the strawberries which are doing great and have many reddening strawberries which I cannot wait to eat soon!
And lastly, on the "shadier" side of the porch are the first the basil and oregano doing really well as of the past week, then 2 pots of carrots which the greens are getting huge but I have no idea how to tell when they are ready to pull out of the soil and eat. And lastly the planter on the right has yes... more lettuce!
I am getting really excited to be able to start eating and cooking with the products from my garden! Bring on the sunny, warm weather!
Love your balcony garden! It is adorable. I had never thought of growing lettuce in pots before, I may do that next year. I tried to grow lettuce in my garden last year, but it didn't work out. This year I tried to grow some chard, but they aren't looking the best right now either. I don't have a green thumb.
