Balanced Living: So.... I'm a gardener?

It's Spring!!! 

Finally Spring has sprung and I am taking full advantage of it. 

I know this is probably going to be an unusual post, but I did promise you randomness from my life. I'm not sure if this falls into the healthy living category or not.... what do you think?

Every year I have a balcony/container garden. I have mostly rented apartments with an outdoor space, and over the past couple of years I've made use of that space. The first year I started this I only grew a few herbs, but every year I have increased the number and variety of plants that I grow. 

This year I have planted flowers, herbs, fruit, and vegetables. 



This year I've planted 3 different types of tomatoes, 2 different types of peppers, and zucchini. This is my first year attempting to grow zucchini and I am hoping that it works out. I'm not known for my green thumb, so it's always a gamble. 



I planted a large variety of herbs this year. Basil, thyme, rosemary, dill, parsley, cilantro, and chives. Nothing tastes as good as food cooked with fresh herbs, and you can find seeds and plants almost anywhere so they are easy to find.  

I love my little garden and I hope you enjoyed me sharing it with you!
