Every spring I start itching to open up my porch and see what all I can coax to thrive here in the middle of the city. There are some additional challenges besides the normal container gardening stuff- mostly that the whole thing is concrete and faces south so it bakes during the day and a lot of plants just can't take it. I was going to do a Japanese tsuboniwa this year but they don't usually include a lot of flowers and I love my flowers so I'm just doing my normal mishmash of oddities with a focus on bright colors. My pride and joy this summer are my four tomato plants which have gone totally crazy! I think the trick was that I started using worm poop in my dirt. It smells funny. Of course I am growing a nice patch of cat grass too.

Que bonita! Hey, where'd you procure the worm poo...I'd like to try it on my plants. Hope all is well.
What's a tsuboniwa?
