Slowly but surely…

I’m almost done with the tabs on this site. I’ve finally completed the About Me section and I’m slowly putting together the recipes A-Z. Maybe I’ll arrange it in alphabetical order or maybe I should arrange it in the form of genre. Slowly but surely getting there – just like my plants. :)

I’m not sure if my ox heart tomatoes would grow well, it didn’t the last time but here’s to crossing my fingers. I got some pot-friendly tomato types this year, cherry tomatoes, pomodoros and speckled romans and they are flourishing. In the pictures the plants are in 6 inch pots but I am going to transfer them to 12 inch pots or bigger once I get more soil.

My herbs are growing splendidly. Since the demise of my basil plant mid-last year, I’ve bought a new one and this time I am going to make sure it lasts me at least 2 years. I have been reading a lot on planting vegetables and herbs and I’m trying to get the best out of limited space I have in our apartment and so far so good. I have a bay leaf plant, it suppose to grow into a tree but it’s stunted due to the pot it’s in. Can’t wait to plant it on a cut-off barrel. I’m learning as I go and it’s been quite satisfying. Oh yea, I talk to my plants too…they grow better that way. :)

Has anyone tried growing their tomato plants upside down? It looks really pretty and curiously functional. I might try it.

    Looking good and looks like that location gets a great amount of sunlight too.

    I had a neighbor who did the whole upside down tomato tree and it was always producing fruit. I have an 8×4 bed just dedicated for tomatoes so thankfully I can plant mine there.

    Lucky you! I’m very tempted to do an upside down tomato plant due to the lack of space. Now, I just need to find a drill. :)

    All your plants look great. My rosemary is taking a long time to grow and im a bit worried about it. I live in California nad was wondering if i should set it out to get some sun and/or water it everyday? It is really small. I’m going to try and talk to them. Thank you for that tip :) good luck with your second basil plant

    Tins: I think your rosemary needs more sunlight. It’s a sun-loving plant.It does not require a lot of water to survive, watering the pot well maybe once very 2-3 days is sufficient. Oh and try to use some organic fertilizers, they work wonders.
