I have decided this year to start my very own edible garden. The trouble with this passion project is that I live on the fourth floor of an apartment complex. And I have no land. Not even a solid terrace on which I could create a raised bed garden. So I've got a lot of pots on window sills...
I have planted the following edibles:
- Patio Tomato plants
- Fish Pepper plants
- Mini Sweet Red Pepper plants
- Mini Purplette Bunching Onions
- Various Leaf Lettuces
- Basil
- Cilantro
- Chives
- Strawberry plant
So far I have used some cilantro for guacamole (yum!), some basil on a margherita pizza, the top of one of the onions (aka scallion) in a veggie stir-fry, and some lettuce to supplement my store bought lettuce. But today - I can hardly contain my excitement! - my strawberries started to turn ruby red. Holy crap, I can't believe I'm actually going to have fresh homegrown strawberries!!!!!!
