Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary



This is how our garden grows! We only have a few feet of space outside of our balcony. We have recently decided to dedicate this space to growing a garden. We decided on one foliage plant (the gardenia), one tomato plant a couple of herbs. We are growing spicy oregano, basil, tarragon and sage. We have already used the herbs in a couple of dishes (including mini-burgers... for which I made homemade mini hamburger buns). We have also almost lost the gardenia bush in the great June heat. It reached 104 degrees here after months of rain.
