Life was a little too busy this year for me to get my crops for The Veranda started from seed. Instead I purchased my plants from The Brooklyn Botanic Garden May plant sale, Evolutionary Organics at the Grand Army Plaza Farmers’ Market, Pet-al Plants, and Oak Grove Plantation at the Union Square Farmers’ Market. Additionally, my peppermint came back from last year, and I still have the oregano from last year that I had transplanted into a pot to bring inside all winter.
This year I tried to get a few tomato plants with small fruit so that I might have more luck harvesting more than 5-10 tomatoes! I also put most of the herbs in pots so that I might keep them through the winter.
Here’s the collection:
Citronella, Shishito Pepper, Como Di Toro Pepper, Padron Pepper
Basil
Hillbilly Heirloom Tomato
Yellow Pear Tomato
Basil, French Tarragon, Purple Sage
Tarragon, Basil, Oregano
Belgium Giant Tomato, Green Zebra Heirloom Tomato, Super Sweet 100 Cherry Tomato
