Little Garden

Yesterday, we planted a small garden for our balcony/windowsill. Since we have no outdoor space, I got to do this in my living room. Unfortunately, the planters featured "make your own" drainage holes...


We got a tomato plant and transplanted it into a bigger pot...


Our basil, amazingly still alive (this is the kind you buy at Albert Heijn for one euro and kill it all to make pesto... except I left a few plants living and they've grown really well!), got bigger pots and new soil.


I finally got around to planting the cactus seeds Katie got me for my birthday years ago... I'm not too sure they'll germinate because they're a bit old, but hey, I'm hopeful. The green guy is a poinsettia - also from Albert Heijn - who was looking completely dead for the longest time, but I forgot to throw him away, and once the days started getting longer he exploded into leaves. So, I guess he gets to stay.


Oh, and here are my sweet little Petunias... presents from Jetze for our housewarming, and one is actually blooming now! How exciting! It has these adorable little pink flowers.

In the big pots and troughs (is that what you call them?) we planted two kinds of lettuce, sweet peas, carrots, and radishes. So... let's see what happens. For now all we can do is wait!
