The garden grows!





Things have grown quite a bit in the last few weeks! I'm super happy with how the tippy pot vertical experiment turned out. The alyssum, marigold, coleus mix works really well. The alyssum trails just enough, and the coleus and marigolds have a nice balance of prim, proper and out of control. The three pepper plants in the second tier are going bananas, I have no idea what we are going to do with so many hot peppers! We've just had the one ripe tomato so far, but the cherry are working hard on growing, and all of the four tomato plants have set more than one fruit (and some just keep on flowering!) The perennial onion sets have taken off too. I wasn't sure if the tops I took from my mom's would actually grow, but the last photo shows how happy they are. I'm still not sure if I'll try to over winter them in the basement, or if we'll just eat what's grown by the end of the season.
