Started this year with a goal of creating a little herb garden on my south side deck (lots of sun). However life got nutty and ended up with little time to focus on this goal and prep the area. I finally got planters in July and later in July soil and seeds.

My neighbour in the complex has been kind enough to give some green thumb tips and a couple of tomato plants. As a result, I planted the tomato plants (instead of the seeds) and think I will work on my herbs (seeds) next spring so they are seedlings and then transplant them into my empty planter for next summer to cultivate.

As a result, we just harvested our first little heirloom tomato. And we have a couple more on the way (but they are still green). Looking forward to make a tomato salad or salsa. YUM!
