Living in an apartment is really tough when trying to plant a "garden". Last year Ryan and I tried our hand at tomatoes, strawberries, red peppers and a handful of herbs. Unfortunately the only thing that made it was the red peppers and the cilantro. This year, since we are in a different apartment and have a little more room on our balcony, I sent my sights on bigger and better things!
I found a coupon for a website that guaranteed the plants would grow, because they only ship when the plants are ready and the conditions are correct. I ordered a lemon tree, a lime tree and an orange tree, all dwarf size, meant to fit on a patio. Being that they said trees, I was expecting something a little larger when they arrived. They are all about the size of my hand and look tiny in the big pots we have for them. I've had them about a week now and so far, they don't seem to be growing all that much.

I love the idea of fresh fruit! One day I hope to have a nice big garden that I can grow a lot of fruits and veggies. I also one day hope to have a bee hive with fresh honey. Oh a girl can dream!
I can't wait to come over and pick lemons :o)
