I’ve grown up in a family that loves to garden, but even though I don’t have my own patch of earth I still indulge my green thumb each year with my little urban garden. I might have jumped the gun this year, but this weekend I sprinted to my local home depot and spent too much money on plants and soil (mother nature please don’t let it get below 40 degrees anymore!) !
This year’s urban garden includes :
Flowers
- Yellow and purple Superbells – I love the name of these plants
- White begonias – white flowers are my favorite
- Vinca – last year these grew into long jungle like vines that covered my entire balcony rail. I loved the effect and bought them again
- Lavender – lavender loves sun, which my space doesn’t get too much of, but I’m taking a gamble on these because I really want to be able to grow fresh lavender!
- Boston ferns – I’ve had these plants for three years. I keep them inside in the winter months and then take them outside when it gets warm and they thrive!
Herbs & Veggies
- Rosemary
- Chive
- Basil
- Peppermint
- Sweet Mint
- Tomatoes
I also stopped by IKEA and bought a piece of outdoor furniture that I’ve been eyeing for the last two years. I’m obsessed with this Applaro bench/wall panal piece. The bench opens and lets me store my extra soil and plant pots, while the wall panel comes with cute hooks for hanging tools I use on a more regular basis. Plus its from IKEA so its not too expensive!
Happy Spring next gardening to you all !
