Unlike my dear Californian friends,
Stefaneener and
Suzee, my planting is limited by the late last frosts. However, it has been above freezing for awhile and I have been itching to get SOMETHING done garden-wise. We live on a tiny little corner lot in a wonderful suburb. Our tiny lot has essentially no back yard and our limited side yard is taken up by an enormous playstructure. So I have to be creative with my planting. First, my "planter" (ie: old laundry room sink) which now contains seeds for parsley, cilantro, basil and chives:
The Ecology Club at the University where G. teaches had a plant sale this week, and he kindly picked me up some plants. We have:
Hot Peppers (that's how they were labelled!):
Tomato:
Cherry Tomato:
Here's the whole "system":
And finally, my tulips are blooming!

Wow! Very cool, very cheapskate, very fun.
Keep us updated with pics. I want to see it all grow.
Pretty flowers, adorable child!
Your garden looks good! I think all we're going to manage is one tomato plant this year. And the tulips are gorgeous - tulips are my favorite flower.
The tulips are wonderful. They don't do so well here. I like the compactness of your garden -- easy to care for.
Now, why did I think you had a huge yard?
The laundry room sink is a great idea! With a baby under one I won't get much gardening done this year, but I hope to grow some indoor herbs in the kitchen and an upside down tomato plant hanging outside our back door.
