My Garden

It's not much, but these pictures pretty much sum up my garden.

Upper left--my tomato plant. I'm pretty happy with how the tomato is doing, but I'm battling whiteflies. I don't like whiteflies. Grrr.

Upper right--my mint plants-spearmint and chocolate mint. These guys are doing pretty well. However, at this point I don't think I have enough to make mint jelly. But maybe I can find someone with mint to spare.

Lower left--my basil. A few months ago I was pretty darn sure that I'd successsfully killed this basil. I was wrong. This makes me happy. I got this basil plant last year--yep, I've had it a year and haven't killed it yet. Apparently, however, I was successful at killing the one on the right. Doesn't the happy one just make you want to get some fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, and french bread?

Lower right--my kitchen sink plant. I got this at a plant exchange at my old job a couple years ago. Before accepting it I needed lots of assurances that this plant was difficult to kill. I've watered it maybe twice in the past 6 months--good thing Marty does it more often.

Not shown--my parsley. I grew this from seed last year (sort of accidentally). Not long ago I repotted them to give them a little more room to spread out. It seems they didn't truly appreciate this act of love. They haven't been doing too well since then. I'm still hoping they recover.

Also not shown--the African Violet from Anne Marie. It's not looking as nice as it was when she gave it to me, but I'm not giving up on it yet.
