Why HELLO New Garden!!!

It's been MONTHS since I mentioned anything about my garden.
Way too long if you ask me, but I have reasons.

Why's that you ask?
Well - simply because there hasn't been much of a garden sadly.

But I'm happy to say that changed recently!!!

I made a trip to Home Depot recently and came home with lots of goodies.

Flowers, Herbs, a Jalapeno plant and soil to be exact!
And after purchasing, I spent TWO HOURS getting everything planted and cleaned up.

So without saying anything more,
I'm happy to share the newly updated balcony garden!

NEW Corner Plant Stand!!!

This year - I decided to use individual pots for my fresh herbs!

I have Oregano, Sage, Lemon Thyme, Flat Leaf Parsley, Rosemary and Basil!

And the Jalapeno Plant!!

NEW Window box liners (thanks Mom and Dad!!) and flower!

I'm loving watching these change from day to day.

Some pink geraniums in the hanging planters.

And some marigolds!

Check back soon for updates and maybe even some new additions!

Any suggestions???

Well HELLO Garden!

A few posts ago, I said I may blog about the garden soon, but that I wouldn't hold your breath.

Well - for those of you who did hold your breath, the time is FINALLY here!

It's nothing big, it's nothing too exciting, but I thought it was about time I gave you a little look into what's going on in my balcony garden!

The poor little lime tree.

It's doing well, but looks so bare since it's lost all it's leave and I went crazy pruning it!

And holy wow - look at the Christmas tree!

This thing just keeps growing and growing and growingggggggg.

Oh and lookie there - the raspberry plant may very well come back this year!

I'd love to get some actual raspberries this year though...

My fresh herbs are doing SO well.

I can't believe it either because I sorta neglected them the last few months

I know I've said it before, and I'll say it a million more times, 

but I LOVE having fresh herbs to cook with.

The newest additions - two hanging planters with ranunculus.

Keep your eye out for updates on these AND hopefully more new additions to the garden soon! 

The geranium that just keeps growing. 

I neglect this baby like crazy over the last year or so, but I still haven't killed it!

And my poinsettia from Christmas time is doing great too!

I don't know if I've ever had one this long and I'm excited to see how long I am able to keep it living. 

While this isn't a very exciting update, I have hopes for the future!

My parents got me all new window box liners and I cannot wait to put them in and get some flowers growing. I could easily buy some flowers because the weather is already nice enough, but I am actually attempting to grow my own using a seedling kit my brother gave me a few years back. So far, I have a few sprouts but nothing worth photographing just yet. Stay tuned though!!
