Hopefully it grows. Period. Alive, not dead. Perhaps bearing veggies? The event dubbed “Garden Party ’09″ is on – will they grow? Will we manage to kill them? Stay tuned!

The back two large pots have one tomato, one pepper, and one squash each. A tomato, pepper, and fingerling eggplant await planting on a tray in front. The tomato is a unique breed created to grow in smaller containers on “balconies” and the squash is pattypan. Because of this, I’m optimistic about our pot-sharing scheme, but really – we’ll see.
The oregano we “inherited” from my IL’s is going for it in the terracotta pot, and on the other side of it in the same pot is basil and mint. The sun hits that side, so we’ll see who “wins.” The long box is parsley, cilantro, dill, and some happy rosemary. Still to come: a box of spring, then summer, lettuce blends.

Those two “random” logs? Actually, they’ve been inoculated with mushrooms. One is Shitake, the other is….? No idea. Those were J’s creative entries.

Place your bets!
