Well spring has definately sprung and when that happens I get my green thumb itching and giving me fits!! Well even though I was raised on a farm I haven't been able to do much gardening since because I never lived anyplace long enough or had space for it. Now that we have this nice apartment and it has such a cute little patio I decided to try my hand at container gardening. I have had so much fun!!!
So far we have Peas set on and just waiting for them to get fat before we have our first harvest
We have Pole Beans climbing the lines to the top of the patio like crazy and starting to show buds
We have Cucumbers starting to climb on the patio rail and one even has a tiny little cucumber showing (never saw it bloom but it must have)
We have two Patio tomatoes hanging in Topsy Turvys and they are determined to grow back up into the planters. No blooms so far
We have two Cherry tomatoes hanging in Topsy Turvys and they are blooming like crazy with tiny tomatoes just starting to show.
We have two Cayenne Peppers hanging in Topsy Turvys and both are blooming and one is showing a almost full grown but still green cayenne
We have a Beefsteak tomatoe in a big pot starting to think about blooming, and several peppers (Jalepeno, and Hungarian Wax) waiting for their Topsy Turvys which will go up next week.
We have two big bins for the potatoes that I am trying a new method with and so far have failed twice with but I planted again today and we will see how they are going. If it succeeds I will post here to tell you all how to do it too. Seems it would be a huge harvest from each small plant.
Anyway that is the main thing that we have been up to lately along with Facebook and blending our family. All is wonderful of course and Ron and I are loving every moment we get together. Life and Love are good!!
Here are some patio garden pictures if I can get them up ok.

You're inspiring! I wish that I had your green thumb. Good to see the pics and read about your garden successes. Love from Texas.
Very impressive! I have a yard, but have done nothing to it. Our accomplishment in the yard is getting the grass mowed on a semi regular basis, so I commend you!!
Good job Pam on really utilizing your limited space. It really looks great! Now if only I could be inspired to do likewise. I do remember those days however, does that count?
That really looks great. I wondered how you would do a garden in an apartment. it looks awesome. you will have to teach me how to do that kind of stuff. I have never had a garden before but I would love to have one in the future. JoAnna
