One of the cool things of living in italy

Is that you can grow fresh spices outside, so to show of I took some pictures of what our vegetable garden is containing these days. Just to be sure not to step on any toes I should remember to say that my contribution to the actual caring of the plants is very small, and it is thanks to my Sara that this looks so good.

In front is our tomato plant, which Sara saved from certain death, when it was living in a small hole of the street downstairs, To the left is our lemon something and chili peper factory. Then to the right of the tomato there is some south american cactus'

and at last the plant only partly in the picture, is my elephant foot, which I picked out of the dustbin at my former work place. Together we nursed it back to health.
Then a closeup of the tomato plant.



These next two are plants which can be used for food, sadly I have forgotten what they are at the time of writing.
No, wait the one to the right is the mint... or? and the other one maybe Salvie.




Rosemary (the big partly broken one) and two timian, one should be greek, the other - well the other wasn't sold with any nationality, so I guess its homemade italian.



Then a picture from our kitchen, where we are growing several children of the plant I borrowed my parents and finally...

Mostly because it was a present from Sara and a thing I always wished to have, along with a palm tree my lemon tree. So it wouldn't really be home without it. And it already produced several lemons, right now there is two on the way. I cannot take to much credit for taking care of this one either... I did water them this morning, but thats only the second time this month.


The names has been changed to confuse me and the reader, hope Sara will check up on the blog and correct the names.

Have a nice weekend :-)
