Foliage

Taking a break from posting sketches this week to show some pictures of my balcony garden experiment in progress (not seen since it's first mention way back when).

The tomato plant in my hanging planter is doing quite well and is laden with several developing tomatoes.  I'm crossing my fingers and hoping they ripen so I can have some fresh balcony tomatoes at some point.

My jalapenos are also doing fairly well with lots of proto-peppers in development.  I hope they all ripen too and that they turn out nice and spicy.

Finally, this is my box of basil.  It's growing quite well - much more basil than I'm going to manage to use up myself, I expect.  One plant would have been plenty and I planted three.

Not pictured are my green onions (I've harvested about 2/3 of them so far) and my potted tomato plants.  Overall, things are certainly growing, now I just have to hope the tomatoes and jalapenos ripen at which point I will consider the experiment a success.  I started everything from seeds, so if I do this again next year I'll either start with seedlings or start things indoors about a month or so sooner than I did this year to hopefully be able to start harvesting sooner.  Crossing my fingers right now in the hopes of being able to harvest at least some tomatoes and jalapenos this year.

Until next time,
Freak Out
