I decided to pull up most of the summer plants since most of them weren't doing too well.
This is the last of the summer harvest. A few green peppers that never turned red, some overripe lemon cucumbers and that small green thing - it's my one and only tomato. Not the most successful harvest, but whatever. That tomato plant was defective.
My basil plant is hanging in there. I brought it inside for the weekend. There are SO MANY LEAVES on it. I'm planning on making a batch of pesto to freeze today. But it's Thai basil so it's a bit mellower and peppery (?) than traditional Italian basil. I've already dried half the limb because it was taking in way too much water. The plant has bloomed several times, and despite my best I think I didn't pinch them off soon enough. The next wave I'll let go to seed and keep them for next year.
The winter plants seem to be doing well so far, especially the lettuce.
Blogspot is estupid and won't let me re- rotate the image that they incorrectly rotated, so this image is side ways. The top/left bunch is the Marvel of Four Seasons butter head, middle is the Tom Thumb butterhead, and the bottom/right is the Cimmaron Romaine. Tom Thumb is doing best, I'll be harvest some of this soon to make room.
This is the leek & carrot box. As you can see the leek doesn't look much different from onion grass. I was expecting it to grow faster, especially since the lettuce shot out overnight. The carrot are those little frond things. No sign of root yet.
Herbs have taken off! Left to Right: Sage, Oregano, Rosemary. I need to start cooking more!!! We made dressing/stuffing the other day with the sage. Barely made a dent in the plant but tasted wonderful!!
Backside of the pot is filled with pansies.
You can see the not as vivacious rosemary too.
And so say so long for now, a photo of the front door flower pot!
