My patio has a lot going on right now. My prayer plant that almost died is coming back, my aloe plant is perking back up, the Christmas cactus is doing well and my succulent (don’t know what kind it is) is showing new growth. The peace lily really doesn’t like the sunlight so much, so I might move it back inside or in a shadier part of the patio.
I’m also growing more basil than I know what to do with (pesto anyone!) This isn’t even all of it. I forgot a picture of the chives im also growing.
This little succulent almost didn’t make it thought the cold winter, but it’s putting on new growth which is a good sign.
And something I’ve never tried before, roma tomatoes! I’ve got 4 planted, so hopefully they do well. So far they aren’t dead from overfertilization, so that’s a good sign.
How about you? Growing anything good?
Not growing anything, but this is making me feel like I should be! When we moved into our house I said I was going to garden…. so far I have one rosebush and that’s about it.
You don’t have to start big. Just buy a little something and start. Basil or rosemary from Lowe’s or Home Depot is probably a good start. And buy a plant that might live a long time. An ivy is a good place to start, though admittedly I did kill one by cutting it back too agressively.
