First there was six

There it is, what's left of 6 seedlings of lettuce leaf basil
Maybe the view scared the other 4

Or maybe I just forgot to water it last week.
thankfully there will be a visitor from back home next week that can bring a couple more seedlings from my mother.  Fingers crossed that she's driving and not flying.

This might be a streeeeetch for "youth"....but there you have it.  The youth of my "non garden" this year
Thank goodness there is a rather large patio to accomodate the planters cause I'm not spending the money on any garden that will be left behind in a year and a half.  It's even south west facing.  The only thing I may actually "plant in the ground" in green beans up the lattice.

before - let's see how this will look next month.
