Seriously, I have never seen plants so happy and thriving. When I see all of the rich green it makes me so happy. I do love and adore the plants, and they do have good conditions. Plenty of sun, ample water, and great soil/compost mixture. Plus the soil was tilled and loosened before I planted this garden. This is only half of the edible garden. On the other side of the patio I have more tomato plants and tons of holy basil. There the soil isn't as rich or loose, but the basil doesn't mind. We also have a new tangerine tree in the front yard.
