Blowin' in the Wind

I haven't been able to do any actual planting this year, thanks to surgery and what not. So we've depended on pots for what few plants we have. Rich actually paid one if his Starbucks regulars, an avid gardener, to put together several pots for me. Thanks to him we have a variety of herbs, peppers, and flowers. To supplement that we did one pot of basil and rosemary and bought one patio tomato pot of cherry tomatoes because hey, it was 40% off and already had a ton of fruit on it!

Sadly, the tomato plant was a casualty in the recent storms. Rich came home to find it knocked over and the stem snapped. We may be able to save the lower half, but most of the fruit is gone. Sad. :-( Thankfully our other plants came through mostly unscathed. I kind of like this container gardening...especially when someone else does most of the work!
