First, Happy Birthday to Tom's mom, Laurie and her dad, Grandpa Gass. It was so nice to spend time with you in Alaska. Isn't it neat when a child and parent share a birthday (my mom and sister have the same birthday). While we're on the topic of birthdays, happy (belated) birthday to my dad. We were thinking of you all the way from Alaska!
We were glad to come back and see that our garden hadn't completely died. Yes there were some casualties. I spend a chunk of yesterday pruning the plants, removing dead ones, and cleaning the balcony. Here are updated pictures:
Two of our pepper plants, Tall one with the hot banana peppers, other one has jalapeno peppers
Our other two pepper plants, both jalapeno peppers
Nice surprise when we came back from our trip!
Marigolds - we were worried that it was on its last leg, but were surprised by more blooms when we came back
Yum! Waiting a few more days before these are harvested
Our mint has been very prolific, we have plans to make a mint infused vodka and a coconut mint chutney, a Mauritian favorite.
A new addition to our garden - even though it's in our kitchen. I have been craving basil pesto and saw this basil plant at the store. An impulse buy that I hope will pay off :)
Okay, now here is the link to the Alaska pictures :)
