Summer is fast approaching and my little urban fire-escape garden is growing like crazy. One of the onions has begun to flower. The diamond shaped onion bulb has blosommed into hundreds of delicate emerald tendrils. 3 more onion bulbs have yet to blossom, and I'm soooo looking forward to this! :)
My lettuce is growing wild at this point. I encountered some aphids several weeks back but apparently, with aphids came the sparrows. The little birds proved their worth by devouring many of the aphids which had been plaguing my greens. Now the lettuce is half a foot tall and will soon be ready for harvest!
After a stretch of warm weather, the hanging Tomato plant has almost doubled in size. While the pea plants has been climbing the metal fire-escape railings in search of more sunlight. The biggest pea plant is now 3 feet tall and has begun to flower. Even some of the basel seeds have sprouted, at last count I had 4 little basel plants growing.
