The Adventure Begins

So, I decided to try a full fledged blog about my garden this year, instead of random Facebook posts.
This year’s garden began on Sunday, and already I have  lots of things sprouting.  Mostly it’s lettuce, but I think I saw some basil, and a couple of my flowers and my tisane herbs.  I co-opted Tim’s Aerogarden to start most of them in one of those foam garden starter trays.
Today I planted zucchini in a little terracotta pot.
I have rosemary, thyme, bergamont, chamomile, and catnip that wintered over inside.  I turned one of the dormer windows in our bedroom into a growing area this winter.
For those of you unfamiliar with my garden layout, I have two flowerbeds by the front door, but all my herbs and vegetables are on a rooftop patio in containers.  I also have a Yoshino Sakura in my container garden.  It’s only about 5 ft tall now and doesn’t have many branches but I’m hopeful that Yo-chan will grow well in her pot. Tim has a Japanese Maple, I forget what variety, in a pot up there too, but he’s supposed to live in our front yard at some point.
If I can figure this whole thing out well enough pictures will likely be forthcoming.
