There are three Topsy Turvies on my deck this year. Two will soon be moved to the back because they need to be higher. I had planted a Health Kick, Brandy Boy and Tangerine in them originally. Even though I thought I moved them out of the way, two were zapped with the pressure washer. The Health Kick survived, barely.
The Tangerine didn’t make it. I had grown that one from seed, so replaced it with a Pink German.
Mary Alice gave me these two flat leaf parsley plants. I planted another pot with the curly leaf. So far there are a few small plants appearing. Lots of little purple basil sprouts have appeared, so many that I transplanted some to the garden. Two nasturtiums came up that I hope will make a pretty hanging basket.
The last two plants, for now, are the Cucino cucumbers that will climb the corner of the gazebo, and hot peppers. The larger one, a Tabasco, was purchased as a plant. The smaller one is a Serrano I grew from seed. I’m going to hand pollinate them so they won’t cross-pollinate. I’d like to see and taste the difference.
