What's Growing in Your Garden?

This year I decided to try my hand at container gardening. I bought some long flower pots Made in the USA at WalMart and planted a few different things in them.

Lettuce.

Spinach.

Basil, Sage and Oregano.

They are all looking pretty good so far. I've been putting some of the basil on my homemade pizza. It is sooooo good!

Love herbs, don't you, to just to out and pick and add in dishes?; June 18, 2010 at 2:29 PM

I can imagine the oregano would be good in a spaghetti sauce! good for you for being adventurous and trying container gardening. we don't have a garden here (no room in back yard) but hubby was thinking of maybe getting a tomato plant or two, but not sure now since June is more than halfway over, LOL

enjoy the weekend!
