Green Thumb

A non-drawing post today, but there is still a picture.

I started a balcony garden a little over a week ago.  It's something of an experiment as I've not tried to grow anything since, well, I have no idea, really.  It's going to be an edible garden with some vegetables, fruit and herbs, if all goes well.
So far, my tomatoes have started sprouting.  The first one to appear is on the left (though blurry) and on the right I am now up to four tomatoe seedlings, so things seem off to a good start.  I'm probably going to have to transplant the tomatoes into their own pots before long.  The first (and so far only) of my jalapenos is also starting to poke above the surface, but it's not particularly interesting to look at yet so no picture of it.  There's a few other things in the works, but they were planted a bit later than the tomatoes and jalapenos so nothing to show of them yet.

It's all kind of exciting, really, and I'm looking forward to having some home-grown stuff this summer.  If all the tomatoes turn out, then I think I may be making some salsa...
