All my plants are in the soil container garden on the deck at the new apt so starting from scratch. Veggies and flowers. Pole beans, peas, hot and sweet peppers, cherry toms and regular tomatoes cucumbers for veggies. For herbs they would include chives, basil, oregano, rosemary, parsley, lavender, tyme, sage, and probably a couple others that don't come to mind.
Flowers are Sunflowers, marigolds of a couple different colors, petunias, and prolly a couple others that don't come to mind. Local garden nursery had a sale on stuff so I dropped like $50 buying stuff. Prolly not get a return on the investment veggie wise but many hobbies have a negative return on investment money wise. Sending time on many hobbies and the mental payback has no dollar value (gardening, smoking cigars, playing music, hiking, biking, working on a car, screwing around with computers etc..).
I'd like to attract bees to pollinate plants and get some humming birds buzzing around. Hopefully the flowers I chose will keep them coming back for more. The peppers have already started making flowers and some have already been pollinate. Flowers have closed down and are in the process process of making fruit. It seems a bit early but who am I to say?
The flowers are annuals, I'd rather have perennials and bulb stuff but they wouldn't work well in deck grow containers. Neighbor across the street has probably10 well established raised beds and some of their perinatals are off and running, Kinda jealous. Maybe I should go introduce myself and ask it they want to share some cuttings for my little container garden.
