I was so excited this morning Lucy, doesn't take much to make me smile ... and the garden has me smiling a lot lately. I was not aware you were back blogging, for some reason I am not getting the updates (?). Grant is precious!

Yay for blooms! I can't believe how much your rooftop garden grew in just a month, that is great. :)

I guess I wasn't supposed to go take a peek at Grant, but I did. Isn't he precious?

Love your rooftop garden, Linda. I'm so glad you figured out a way to garden in such a great way.

Nell .. no way was I deleting Lucy's comment and, yes, Grant is very precious, adorable and very much loved. A very lucky baby :)

I am really enjoying gardening again. I expanded this year, and have plans for more expansions next year ... LOL

OhioMom,The setup looks totally awesome! I love that you're growing tomatoes in buckets.

Linda, your garden is really amazing. You are an inspiration to all those who think they can't get good results without having a lot of yard space. I'm truly impressed!

Hello just came across your blog and so glad I did. I started following; I'm a fellow foodie from Cleveland, my site is called Tricia's Dish. I do 2 weekly giveaways every Friday on the site so please stop by www.triciachaves.blogspot.com

Also-not sure if you live in the city of Cleveland but I wanted to share what happened over the weekend with our dog and what is becoming a frightening and growing safety concern in the area www.tituscleveland.blogspot.com

Have a great weekend,
Tricia

Maybelle's Mom .. here's hoping :)

Thanks MBT .. the maters in the buckets are doing great, all of them will be grown this way in the future.

LOL Sue .. it is more my craving of fresh (and frugal) fresh produce, plus it doesn't hurt that I LOVE to garden :)

Thank you Tricia, I am sorry for the loss of your dog. I know how hard it is to lose a beloved pet, my cats were all rescues. Hugs.

Grace said...

so far, so good! i love that last shot--all the colors are so lovely. :)

Claudia said...

Gorgeous garden! I have a garden - but grow most produce and herbs in pots. I don't have zucchini this year (sad) and your looks so good - what will you do with the blossoms? Gardens make me smile.

Balisha said...

What a great garden! So nice to have your own veggies for salads etc.

OhioMom said...

Thanks Grace :)

Claudia .. gardens make me smile too :) No plans for the blossoms.

Balisha .. thanks, yes eating from the garden is one of the best joys in life :)
