My husband and I talk about having a yard where we can plant our own garden, but for the time being we have to make due with our small apartment balcony. Devin claims to have the green thumb in the relationship, so he has taken over attending to our makeshift garden. I have to admit I am pretty impressed with what he has achieved in such a small space. We have plenty of herbs to season our meals and eventually even avocados that he started from an avocado pit. The inside of the house looks much like our balcony with plenty of plants thriving and taking over the place. Below I have provided some pictures of our balcony garden to show-off what we have done with the space that we have:
Orenago, Chives, and Cilantro are the three newest additions.
Oregano~
Chives~
Cilantro~
Mint~
There use to be three different types of mint mixed in here; chocolate, peppermint, and lemon mint, but I think that the peppermint took over. The only thing left from the chocolate mint is some of the branches.
Avocado Tree~
There is also an aloe plant hiding in the background next to the Jasmine we have growing.
Rosemary, Sage, Thyme~
Chili Peppers~
These we keep inside since they don't do well out in the sun.
We also have basil, but it's at the end of it's life right now so it's didn't look that great in the picture.
Pura Vida!
