On the top left is a succulent/cactus thing. It has spines but not very sharp ones. It is a plant I recently inherited from a friend of mine who has moved to Portland and later this summer will move to South Korea to teach English. Along with that plant, I also got the small plant on the top right, the plant in the middle of middle shelf and the one on the bottom shelf. All succulents.
Top middle was supposed to be something ... but whatever I planted, it never took. I recently gave up on it, and planted some basil, which is just now sprouting.
The large plan on the top right is broccoli. It gets very wilty if I don't water it everyday. It has yet to produce actual broccoli yet, but it looks pretty rockin'.
Middle right in the red are sweet peas. They just started growing their buds, I only noticed them today. The plant itself looks a little rough - it has white spots and isn't climbing, but it might well pull through.
The middle of the middle shelf, besides the one succulent pot is all "Wandering Jew," which I got from my mom's hairdresser. You can just cut off a piece of the plant, soak it in a wet paper towel for a couple days until it starts to sprout, then plant it and away it goes. It's really prolific. I have an indoor "Wandering Jew" - all these outdoor plants are from when I tossed some old pieces into the dumb cane for fertilizer and it started growing. I eventually pulled it out so it wouldn't use up all the space and nutrients that the dumb cane needed. This plant doesn't really like being outside come winter, but we'll see what happens this year.
And lastly, in the back, on the left of the middle shelf are some mums that seem to be dying ... except their vines are still green, it's just the flowers that have gone brown. So I'm leaving it to see what happens.
I'm pretty pleased with my garden! Now I just need to work up the courage to ask my neighbor to water it while I'm on vacation ...
