My mom on the other hand, has a nimble green thumb… or two. While visiting NY last week, I was truly impressed by her little paradise.
When she’s not working or taking ballroom dancing classes (yes...), she’s tending to her little garden terrace of various herbs and vegetables. Living in New York, there’s only so much that can be done, but she’s proved otherwise. Her “babies,” as she calls them (I've been replaced) are the first and last thing that commands her attention on any given day. “You’re so cute!!” – she really said that to the plants.
The current inventory consists of tomatoes, chili peppers, cucumbers, eggplants and various culinary herbs. She was so proud of the flowers blooming on the eggplant vines. Then about a week later, we noticed a young eggplant, about 5 inches long.
Baby Tomato, about 2" in diameter
Baby Cucumbers, about 2.5" long
My mom plants the butt of green onions instead of discarding, let them grow a bit and then snip when needed.
The setupThis is my current attempt at gardening, a starter terrarium in my kitchen. Gotta start somewhere!
