Garden Postmortem

The Italian basil is history. The shiso plants have gone to flower, as has the Thai basil. The padrón pepper plants are soldiering on, but it won’t be long before they need to meet the compost bin. The peppermint plant is thriving, but the spearmint plant is DOA. The survivors are all waterlogged with the rain we’ve had this week. All in all, it was a good year for my humble upper-deck garden. Now I get to daydream about what to include next year.
