My goal for the summer is to make something grow.  Even if I can only get one measly tomato I’ll have succeeded. 

Today we went out and got the rest of the soil, containers, and plants that we needed at Belgian Nurseries, one of the neatest places to buy plants, it’s so beautiful there!

I am trying to grow

• Patio Tomatoes (which I think are like cherry tomatoes)
• Spinach
• Everbearing Strawberries
• Mint
• Zinnias
• Cosmos

I’m not sure how everything will turn out, I’m not usually the greenest of thumb, but hopefully our sunny balcony will do the trick.  I think for a week or so I’ll have to bring them in at night to avoid frost, so I think it might be pretty messy business for a while. Here are a few pictures from my planting adventures:
