Garden Update: June 2010

My garden is really thriving now and my herbs are getting really big! It smells amazing when you walk out onto my patio because of the cilantro and basil, especially. I also planted green beans and sugar snap peas from seed and they are huge already!

my herbs: basil, cilantro, peppermint, parsley, and chives. Please send me some good recipes for these!!!
This is my grape tomato plant! This is definitely my must-have every summer. Now that I have the basil, all I need is some fresh mozzarella for a yummy appetizer!!!

These are my HUGE green beans, started from seed less than a month ago!! They sprouted up so fast I couldn't even believe it!


These are my sugar snap peas, which also sprouted up super fast! They are beginning to vine up the tomato cage and I have since put additional stakes in the pot for them to grow up, too.


This is my 3-year old lavendar plant, started as a small plant no larger than a baseball!!!! It smells wonderful on my patio!

These are just some pretty purple flowers in my garden!





This is the planter on my front porch and the sweet potato vines are becoming really big already!


This is my favorite little doggie planter!

Well, I hope you enjoy seeing the progress of my garden! I'd love if you'd share some recipes for me to try with my fresh herbs!
