As you can see in the picture above, our first garden is growing quite nicely. The zucchini and tomatoes seem to be doing particuarly well, with the peppers and cukes doing okay in their own right.
Our basil plant is getting a bit unruly (need to start using it more!) but some of the herb seeds we planted are starting to poke their heads through the dirt too.
Now that it's growing (and going) so well, I really wish we had planted more. It's still not bad for a first garden though. I'm definitely hooked.
I'm particuarly proud of how are mixed lettuce greens are coming along...I think we'll be having our first salads soon. Maybe we'll even serve them at our first BBQ of the season...coming up next weekend.
Oh, I'm so envious.
We're in the middle of HOA-Approval-Hell to actually strong-arm them into letting us USE our deeded roof rights -- I just want a little garden, and a table and a few chairs. Is that so much to ask??

I can certainly spare some really good oregano. Very hardy and bushy, a perfect addition to any herb garden.
Trust me!
(Started with one sprig 6 years ago, now I have ~6 bushes.
