I love that my patio has a great big area where I can plant lots of goodies. After the fiasco last year when everything died from irredeamable soil, I switched to container planting. However, it has been decided by the powers that be (aka our landlords) that this month they will be painting. Yes, it will take them pretty much a whole month. Thus, we had to pile all of our things on our patio in the middle of the patio (and take down our gazebo). However, I realized that by having all my plants consolidated, I could make my silly little garden look lush and full! So here is my garden earlier in the week (I have planted more today, but haven't taken pictures yet.)

I was even able to make my sickly little tomato look alive! I don't know what its problem is, it will look half dead, but it keeps giving me more 'maters. Oh well!
