Gardening....

Every summer I look forward to getting plants and do my balcony garden. I do not usually have flowers as I like to harvest after a month or so. I always have tomatoes and peppers and herbs and others if I can find plants that will do well in pots. This year I am trying different kinds of tomatoes.

I will take pictures every week to see how fast they grow. Also this year I am trying planting the no fuss, no pots way which I have seen in the UK.

So for all those who do not garden, this could be a way you can try and have fresh tomatoes for salads, or pasta sauce.

This is the Cherokee purple tomato, a first for me.

Basil, tarragon and rosemary. 

This is my new way, I bought the bag of potting soil and just cut an X on the bag and planted my plants. I have to be a bit careful when watering but hopefully it will work.

Those are roma, cherry and golden boy tomatoes.

My peppers, red, green and jalapeno.

Since my balcony faces south west, I get a lot of sun and I have to water in the morning and night as the soil dries up fast.

I hope they will do well, keeping my fingers crossed.
