I wasn't able to plant nearly as much as I wanted to this year. Life with a precocious 2 year old can sometimes be difficult, and there's not nearly as much sun as I'd like in the backyard and the 7 tomato plants that were given to me got the best spots. Also not pictured is the huge cucumber plant I have. It was the second one that I planted as the first got eaten by something, a jalepeno pepper plant, and a banana pepper plant (that was supposed to be a green pepper, somebody switched the labels).
Behind the basil in the above photo are the strawberries. They became huge this year and I thought I'd be lucky enough to have enough to freeze and bake with. Son had other plans and decided that he enjoyed strawberries no matter what color they were. He has eaten so many strawberries it's unbelievable.
I was able to get some really beautiful herbs, both in and out of pots. Two types of basil (pictured above and below), thyme, rosemary (pictured in the very first photo), oregano (behind the basil below), mint and sage. All the herbs I need for spaghetti sauce and then some.
