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!!

Garden In Transition

I know it's been FOREVER since I updated you about the garden, but it's mostly because there hasn't been anything to really update...

I haven't added to it in awhile, but I've removed a lot of dead plants and old window box linings. I'm working VERY slow, but I'm prepping to have some kind of Fall Garden. I'm just waiting until I know it won't be too hot and it's forecast to be about 90 again this week! C'mon crisp cool Fall temperatures! 

I can't wait to go shopping for some new goodies soon! Until then though, I figured I'd give you a quick update about what's actually still living! 

Empty window boxes...

Blueberry and Raspberry Plants

Herbs!
Dill, Rosemary, Oregano, Sage, Parsley and Basil

Marigolds still goin' strong!

The ol' cherry tomato plant.

Check back in the next few weeks (hopefully) to see what new things I have growing.
