A bit of greenery

The pots in my little rock garden are really coming to life.  It is a little oasis out there at the moment.  One of my neighbors likes to stop over and gaze over the fence.  She always exclaims how nice it looks.  I hope it can keep it up!  Growing in pots has always been a challenge for me.

Snow peas, sage, pea shoots, spinach, and flowers.
The "empty" box is basil.
Baby basil!

I've started growing lots of  microgreens, which we have already been enjoying in salads and so forth.  They definitely make me feel successful!

A variety of microgreens, my son's beans, and more.
Microgreens - peas, rocket/arugula, broccoli, salad mix

For the moment, I am not worried about bugs or stressed plants.  I am ore concerned with keeping up with my son's demands for salads and eating things straight from plants that we've grown!
