Yellow pear cherry tomato, already caged.


Sungold cherry tomato, already caged. This one actually put out a few flowers this weekend, but I nipped them off...I want him to keep growing before it starts putting energy into bearing fruit. The guy at the Tilth edible plant sale told me that this varietal is supposed to be well suited for pacific NW weather, let's see how that goes! I'm excited to watch these guys grow up this summer, my tomato plants last year got *enormous*.


Jalepeno pepper plant! He's so perky. (You can see my kale in the background).


Chrysanthemum. Gloria says its supposed to attract good pollinators.


This will eventually be chartreuse zinnias. I hope.


A couple sunflowers in the back, and some echinacea in the front. I bet I'll end up pulling out some of those sunflower seedlings eventually to make room...I'm not sure how big they will get. Or if you can even grow sunflowers in pots. If I had more pots, I'd just leave one little seedling in the middle and let 'em go. Oh well! They'll have to get used to the crowds.


English lavender.

Alas, this isn't even all of them...I have another planter with parsley, coriander, and mint, and another pot with lemon basil and dill, and another pot with some kale. And a small pot for some marigolds. And my piggy plant. And two pots worth of hens and chicks, which have tripled in size since I got them a year ago. Goodness! My patio is getting crowded.
