In-Laws Balcony Garden Update

Sunday afternoon we went over to my in-laws for a family picnic. The first thing I did was go upstairs to check on the plants. I couldn't believe how well they are doing. Two of the four tomato plants have grown over the top of the cages already!

He has one pepper already! These plants look better then mine. I think that he has a perfect combination of sun and shade up there.....or, maybe it was the person who propagated the plants :)

This is the swc container that my sister-in-law bought him for his birthday. He planted some eggplant that he purchased in that container. They are also doing amazing.


These are the 3 cucumber plants that I started for him. I did threaten to take them back....and give him seeds. I just direct sowed my cucumbers two days ago. I guess I will have to swallow my pride and come to terms with the fact that he will have peppers and cucumbers before me :)

  1. Everything is growing great. I can’t believe that there is a pepper in that plant already!
    My cucumbers just don’t want to grow, I’m not sure if I will have any cucumbers to harvest this year. These cucumber seedlings look lovely.

  2. A pepper already! Wish I was so lucky :-) No cat name yet by the way. My mom has been calling her Charlie though, not sure if it will stick yet.

  3. MojVrt, I can't belive he has a pepper either. Don't worry about your cucumbers. If your new seeds don't germinate, maybe you should buy another batch of seeds.

    Dan, Me too! I think Charlie is a cute name. I have a cat named Miss Banana....it's a long story
