So, my plants are producing many o' goodies for us Meuniers to enjoy this summer. The cherry tomato plants have produced over a pint of tomatoes (so far) and probably another pint in a few days. The peppers were small, but tasty, and the green beans will provide a few servings for dinner someday soon. I've used the parsley and basil a great deal as always -- I've grown them almost every summer since we've been married. All in all, I'm not sure I "recouped" the money spent on my container garden, but it's been fun, and enjoyable to say the least to see all this food grow from tiny seeds that I planted way back before spring! Plus it was all organic (soil, seeds, etc.) Will I do this next year? Not so sure. I actually might create a garden on the side of our yard, but I still have a few months to "hash" that out (I can see eyes rolling!). I must admit I tend to forget to water the plants and rush out to water them when they look sad and "thirsty." I know...I know...
Here is a picture of some pizza we made tonight with toppings (peppers, tomatoes, and basil) from our container garden.
By the way, in the spirit of the summer season - I have found my favorite lemonade! 365 brand (not from concentrate) lemonade -- from Whole Foods of course! Yum!!!
