Excuse the drive-by post...vacation photos are coming, but we still haven't gone through them! We'll have to do it this weekend since we'll see both families for Father's Day and they will demand photos. This post is actually more for my memory than anything else. =)
Here's what we planted on the deck this year...
In our two EarthBoxes:
(on the right, by my attractive hubby)
Juliet Tomato
Random Bell Pepper
(on the left)
Tuscan Blue Rosemary
Purple Sage
Italian Oregano
Curly Mint
Sweet Basil
Leeks
The basil, which last year grew like a weed, died out fairly quickly, and I have no idea why. =( I would like to plant some more. The sage, which last year died out, is growing like crazy! Such capricious herbs. I don't like the Curly Mint as well as the "regular" mint, but the "regular" is hard to find at garden stores...probably because "everyone" has it growing wild in their yards.
I have no idea when to harvest the leeks! Google tells me 1-2" in diameter...some may be ready by now...I need to check!
Flowers in pots...
Angelonia (my continual favorite!)
Pink Glow Purslane (peeking out to the right)
Sulphur Queen Hymenocallis (Peruvian Daffodil)
"Tropical Vacation" Canna

What a pretty garden! Looks fabulous and the Sulphur Queen Hymenocallis is something else - have never seen that before. Gorgeous!
I have some kind of mint growing in my yard. No idea if it's what you're looking for, but you're welcome to come and check it out (and take some with you) if you want.
having been here, you're obliged to call them right Heather.. :D
origano, basilico and rosmarino :D :D
Love the garden! I have the Tuscan Rosemary in my herbs as well. It gets HUGE!!! I love putting it on chicken to grill or bake!
Great garden! I also love the Sulphur Queen Hymenocallis but have never seen it before : )
Love your little rooftop garden Heather!! That pulsane is so pretty!!
Very pretty! And soon to be yummy. :)
My basil dies off when it gets too wet here in the summer. It does NOT like to be too moist, that's for sure.
