Garden update

Our little balcony garden was going gangbusters up until the recent cold spell.  Since then, things haven't grown much at all, but here is the state of things:
A handful of strawberries
Quite a few raspberries
We started off with hundreds of blueberries, but the cold weather appears to be killing some off??
We now have baby kale!
The parsley is exploding, but the poor basil is limping along.
How cute is this little pea pod?  I also love its little tendrils.
The cherry tomatoes are slowly growing
The pepper plants we have indoors are about ten times larger than the ones outdoors
So it's not too bad overall, but the weather has been the limiting factor so far - come on Sun, it's time to make your appearance!

    Impressive! Just goes to show that container gardening in the city is perfectly do-able. Somehow I have a suspicion that maybe C and his perfectionist-ism are behind this? Successful gardens take so much work to maintain!
