What's growing?

I am very fortunate to live in a part of NYC where I have enough space to run my feet through soft grass, plant vibrant flowers, and grow delicious herbs , vegetables, and fruit. Actually my mom does all the gardening. She has this amazing green thumb for making everything grow. I think her and her plants have a bond. They love her and she loves them. Me? I just like to reap the rewards. I do find it relaxing strolling through the garden to see what's going on. Today is my day off and I'm trying to catch some rays but every time I go out the sun runs away. Perhaps my pale body is scaring it away. I'm like an albino that is trapped in the dungeon that is the kitchen with no windows!

a little pot of chives.
mint for mojitos.
even a tiny arugula plant!
my thyme is now blooming tiny fragrant flowers that the bees love.


as is my dill.
look at those healthy figs and fig leaves.


basil trying to bust out. peach butt crack.
cilantro my favorite.
perhaps zuchini? I'm not sure. But it will be a nice surprise!
a big big tomato.

baby plum tomatoes. I love photographing these. They are like tiny jade lanterns strewn about.

and my most prized plant. kaffir lime leaves for thai curries and tom yum goong. watch out for those thorns.
