Spring is in the air....

Since I had such great success with my topsy-turvy tomato planter last year, I decided to replant it again this year. The thing is a beast and takes up a good portion of our tiny balcony.

I decided to buy 3 tomato plants (grape, regular and one specifically bred for a planter) and we'll see how it goes. I also planted a yellow pepper and strawberry plant. Last year I had one red pepper but it rotted before it was ripe enough to pick. Big bummer. Hopefully we'll have better luck this year!


I also planted a basil and cilantro plant. Randomly a parsley plant survived the winter and is hanging on by a thread....we'll see if I can get more than 2 leaves to grow off of it!Spring is here! Nick bought me my first (two) bunches of tulips!!! Yay!
