Started our patio garden for this year!

Sam and I started our patio garden!  We have some red and blue flowers in the hanging basket (can't remember what they are called); in the planters, we have prairie sage, Italian basil, raspberry lettuce, purple peppers, and spearmint!

Definitely excited to use the purple peppers and basil in my Italian recipes... and to use the lettuce in salads and on sandwiches!

Expanding our garden!

We expanded pur patio garden today, since the green peppers never germinated.  In addition to the "corn salad" (sweet leafy green), we now have purple bell peppers, broccoli, oregano, and basil.  Makes for a nice view for this spring and summer :)
