New Addition and First Fruit!

The New Addition: Aloe Vera!
Aloe
I got an Aloe plant! This is the first time I am working with a succulent plant, but so far it is working well.

First Fruit!
First Tomatoe!
Finally a tomato that is ready to be picked, and it was YUMMY! Since then, I have had many more turn from green to red. I would say not bad for a first tomato plant.

Garden Update!

Just thought I would add an update with my garden. I now have 3 good sized peppers, one almost the size of a softball. I also have roughly a dozen or more tomatoes coming in. They are looking really healthy. I got several bowls of salads out of my lettuce, but next year I would have to add more soil. My chamomile has its first flowers starting in, so I might be picking them soon, and my basil is going nuts. I will have enough to last me for a while. Wish I could say more for my sage though. I might need to put in more soil in that too next year. Hope to have more pictures here in the coming weeks.
