Afternoon Garden Update - Strawberries and New Tomato Buds!

{Can't wait to sink my teeth into those!}

I came home this evening to some nice little surprises. Our strawberry plants began growing little fruits and my Better Boy tomato plant's yellow flower buds began to appear. There is nothing more rewarding than progress in the garden!

The weather is just perfect today with lots of blue skies and sunshine.

Take a look at these pictures from today:

Garden Update!

Lil and I decided to take a trip to the garden store this weekend and added a few new editions to our urban garden.

Instead of trying to plant them in a standard pot (The patio rail blocks a lot of sun)I finally took the leap and got the Topsy Turvy! I must say, these are pretty cool but it will be awhile before I can give an accurate review.

Below are some pictures of my activities today. Tune in again for more!

Spring Time!

Well my friends, spring has finally arrived. We have been through a tough and brutal winter and I'm not just speaking about the weather. Our economy hit it's lowest point this winter and our president spent like a drunken sailor. We printed $1.2trillion dollars just last week...

But I digress, the weather is warming up, the sun is starting to shine and the birds are starting to sing. I get a surge of energy and excitement this time of year because it's time to plant the garden!

Since I do not have a yard, I will be forced to do a lot of indoor/porch growing in pots which poses a bit of a challenge. There isn't a place in my apartment that gets full sun but I'm going to give it a shot.

To start things off, I planted seeds of the following plants in organic soil:

-Catnip
-Italian Parsley
-Sweet Basil
-Chives
-Rosemary

The parsley and chives are new seeds while the others are from last season. I just froze them.

I will keep this updated with the progress of the garden if your interested at all. If anyone else is doing a garden also, let me know and we can put some of your pictures on here.

Enjoy!
