I only moved in with my partner last autumn, and his garden has been totally neglected - it''s simply a huge grassland :) Sadly we''ve got no time nor money to redo the whole thing - a pation, new soil, grass, raised beds etc - so I''ve got a small corner outside the door leading to the future terrace/patio, with containers. I''ve got some Alpine strawberries (1 container), tomatoes (2), butternut squash & zucchini (3 containers) and some green beans; additionally I''ve got quite a lot of various herbs and salad leaves in my kitchen "windowsill garden". We fried some zucchini flowers for a snack yesterday, and I expect to harvest my first zucchini later this week - very exciting :) Good luck with your gardening endeavour, Andrea!!

Basil never dies, it keeps coming and I use it a lot for salad dressings, pizza and tomato sauce. Another favorite is small celery, that I like to have it handy. Nice post!

I do have pots of thyme, rosemary, sage, mint and chives on the patio though, and a mini chilli pepper plant in the kitchen! That basil looks so lovely I can almost smell it.
