Oooooooh, KALE!

Check out my beautiful kale, growing happily in a pot on my balcony!  I am so excited!

I’ve been dying to try my hand at actually growing some food, but we are currently renting at our home in Morgantown, so I don’t want to plant stuff in the ground.  Not only do I not have landlord permission, but if we wind up moving in October I’d have to leave all my goodies behind.  Last year in our (also rented) other house, I grew one lone red bell pepper, and a small basket of cherry tomatoes.  I killed some lettuce, so the kale made me quite nervous.  But look how pretty!  I actually cut some of that back and threw it into a fabulous spicy Mexican-esque chicken soup I made.  Yum!

Here’s a few more plants.

That’s a yellow tomato plant, and you can see a blueberry bush and a red bell pepper plant in the background.  Check out my wee tomatoes!  Squeeeeeeeeeeee!
