Cherry Tomatoes
-Sungold
-Supersweet 100

Alpine Strawberries
Impatiens - Super Elfin
Fuschia - Upright

So, yeah. That's sort of a lot of plants for a little balcony. The Cherry Tomatoes are doing wonderfully and already have some green tomatoes growing on them. I'm especially looking forward to the Sungolds, since they have such a wonderful reputation. The Bush Tomato will replace one of the Cherries after John and I decide who gets voted off the island. When I started this project last year, I was sure that I would kill everything. Now, it's awesome to look out on the balcony and see the garden, and the urban habitat that it's creating.
I would love to see pictures of your gardens! Post a link or an image in the comments!
I love it! Amazing!!
ReplyDeleteWow, an LA oasis! You've inspired to me do something cool with my patio. I will work on it this weekend and send you a picture. Can't wait to hear how the Sungolds taste! Will you be posting a recipe?
