Bluepenguin's Herbs and Peppers garden

Created on Tuesday, 22 Jul 08

Started with a basil plant when I saw how much it would cost to buy a few leaves from the store vs an entire plant! Quickly added new herbs when I saw how well they grew on the balcony.

    That link leads you to kind of an old journal, but it shows our garden friend at its best.

    Hi Blue Penguin! Awesome a Balcony Garden.. I am growing (finishing) a “Cement Garden” on my back patio that is not much bigger than a balcony… I successfully grew Tomatoes and Peppers and even Green Beans, although a few green beans a week won’t feed the family they sure make a great snack! As for the herbs a quick suggestion is to buy seed and keep planting new seeds every month or so… especially if you use them for cooking as much as I do… I grow about 3 plants at a time of each herb I use regularly and they still can’t keep up! But the good news is a new plant from the nursery is still about the same price as a packed bunch from the grocer! And fresher… I am pretty new to all this too so I love My folia… It’s a great way to see my own plantings grow!
