Balcony Garden

I have a new ambition.  I would like to have an herb garden, a medicinal garden, and a 'wicked plants' garden.  I'm reading this book "The weed that killed Lincoln's mother and other botanical atrocities".  I have yet to learn which plant killed her... suspense!!!  Here is what I have planted so far.

Basil, Mint, Rosemary.  The rosemary is planted in the pot of the plant that I bought Lester 2 years ago when he moved into his new place, a housewarming gift.

"Million Hearts", Dischidia Ruscifolia.  Grows native in South Africa, now its in my garden in Indiana.

Chamomile, I planted these from seeds and this morning is the first they poked above the surface!  So excited to see them, so tiny.



My birthday roses  - Lester bought me the MOST beautiful 2 dozen roses, and they just keep getting bigger, I've never seen roses this large.


Last night I checked on my brood before I went to sleep, and the cilantro still had not popped thru the soil.  HOW EVER this moring - a mere 9 hours later - I found this little guy - a FULL 2 inches tall.  Incredible... I should have had a time-lapse video recording. It would have been phenomenal.
Becky said after I told her the above story that I really need to have a baby.
