Garden Gets
Saturday, May 7th, 2011 | 38 Comments 
Paid a visit to the nursery this morning to pick up some plants for my balcony garden.
I didn’t really do any gardening last summer.
I think that was a mistake.
Gardening is something I’ve done every summer since I was a kid and it’s good for my peace of mind! The year before I did the edamame and herbs, etc. and it was wildly successful and took up most my balcony space! Very forest-like in the end.
But I wanted to keep it easy this year
with plants I know thrive. I get really weird sunlight ratios haahaa~
Not full sun but more than partial shade.
I wish I got full direct sunlight so I could do a ton of blooming flowers.
But whatever.
I’m doing a tomato + herb garden mostly!! I’ve grown them before & they do great in my location.

What I’m growing:
- Cherry Tomatoes “Sugary”
- Rosemary “Santa Barbara”
- Garlic Chives
- Lime Thyme
- German Chamomile
- Portulaca “Sundial Tangerine” shade
- Clover “Charmed Velvet”
- White Clover “Dark Dancer”
- Flying Colors “Red” shade


I grew clover a few years ago too and it thrives like the weed it is!
It’s super hardy and always so beautiful. This species produces a lot of lucky 4-leaf steams!
The tomatoes will be tiny and useful in salads or on sandwiches.
I don’t like tomatoes too much but Mike does and it thrived last time I grew it on my balcony. I, however, LOVE herb plants like thyme and chives which I use constantly!
I got the chamomile because it produces little daisy-like blooms. Wonder if I can dry it for tea? I’m going to research that a bit. The flowers I got were the portulaca and this new plant called “Flying Colors!” Never grew the Flying Colors nor even heard of it.
But it’s “award winning”
and labeled as liking sun/partial shade so here’s hoping! The blooms are tiny and red. Very pretty.
Portulaca you can’t screw up. Like seriously… they’ll reseed themselves too hahaha~
OK so garden-time has begun!!
