My Container "Garden"

I thought I'd share with you my new hobby.  My container garden :)  My pathetically, teeny, tiny veggie (one veggie btw) and herb container garden.  I love it.  It's small enough to manage and it has almost everything I want in a garden.  I say almost because I would like to add peppers to the mix but hey, it's my first real garden.  I'm getting use to it.

Before I show you my "garden" I need to show you the *giddy* cute, apple green watering can with which I use to nourish my herbs and veggie.

OK, don't hold your breath anymore.  Here is THE "garden":

Tada!  What?  You were waiting for something a bit more extravagant?  Sorry, I did say it was a pathetically, teeny, tiny garden!  Still it's perfect for me :)  I made the chalkboard terracotta pots.  Get instructions here and make one for your teeny, tiny garden!

OK you see that??  That yellow flower???  That's my tomato plant!!!  I'm so excited.  I've never grown tomatoes before.  Rather, I should say, "I've never SUCCESSFULLY grown tomatoes before".  This is the only veggie (or is it a fruit?) in my garden.  The rest are herbs.

Here's another tomato plant I am growing.  See the green flower bud in the center?  Soon I'll have tomatoes for my salad :) 

A look at the patio set my husband refinished.  It was THE ugliest shade of orange.  He bought a can of Krylon paint for plastics in a wonderful red color (my favorite).  I found the pillows at Pier One Imports.  I need to go back and get more for the rest of my deck accessories.

 This stuff is like plastic magic in a can.  Read more about it here.

Here's a closer view of the pillow and chair (and rain drops) :)

Here's a better look at my chalkboard terracotta pots.
