turns out all of that compost, potting soil, plant start, flowers, herbs, and seed, and "what to do with all of this" book buying has made a dent. my bank also has this great little thing online that tracks and categorizes your purchases and then makes terrifying bar graphs and pie charts to show you how you've been mis-spending your money. it even has budget recommendations and says in VERY large font size if you're living within your means or not. lovely. useful. yikes. it appears that i have already managed to go over my budget for the month. oops. i blame it on the plants.
how could i pass these sorts of things up though?
lovely dianthus
spitfire climbing nasturtiums
climbing black-eyed susansnot to mention the lovage, peppermint, hot pink geranium, parsley, arugula, and much more. mmm. my balcony will be pretty (and probably groaning under the weight of everything), but i can't spend any more money on planting things this month.

GORGEOUS flowers. I wish I could see them in person.
I'm attempting to grow some veggies/herbs this summer. My brother and I planted mint, rosemary, thyme, basil, spinach, various kinds of peppers, green onions, etc. Unfortunately, we didn't foresee this ridiculously cold spring, and some of the plants are starting to die.
How's spring treating you guys down in Oregon?
Sad! It is too cold for peppers and basil, but everything else should do okay. Make sure you aren't over-watering! It's the easiest way to kills plants. :)
