My Garden to Go

Since I am hoping to sell my house before the summer is out (I have a contract pending, so keep your fingers crossed for me!), I decided to plant my small veggie garden to go.

My patio tomato is doing great, since is designed to be planted in a pot on your patio. My peppers are still small, so they are hangin' in there. My basil is awesome and I have already been pinching off leaves as the days go by. Oregano, OK, but going to need more room soon. Rosemary, happy as a clam. But my cherry tomatoes are completely freaking out. These beauties are used to being planted with plenty of room to stretch out and they are desperate for a wire support.

When I planted them, they were all of 6 inches tall, and the pots seemed huge in comparison. Now they tower weakly over all the other veggies to go and look out of place. I hope they can hold on until I actually do move and I can get them in the ground in a sunny spot whereever I land.

Sadly, my beautiful fig I wrote about last year (click here to read that blog post) is even more plentiful this year.

Same goes with my blueberry bushes. Unfortunately, I can't take either one with me. Maybe my next home will have a garden someone else had to leave behind for me to enjoy.

I love it!So beautiful! But i know i can not take care of the garden!

I have the most spectacular garden in the neighborhood. In the springtime, my garden is not only a riot of color and bursting fragrances, it is also a silent, but animate play constantly unfolding before my eyes..
