Living in an apartment doesn't exactly give you a whole lot of room for a garden, so we needed to get a little creative :) A couple weeks ago, Mike took it upon himself to transform our balcony to host a little, mini herb garden. He did a great job! We are now the proud growers of basil, rosemary, chives, cilantro, peppers and aloe! It is really nice to be able to walk outside and snip some fresh basil for a caprese salad and use fresh cilantro in some homemade guacamole. Our next home, however, will have a much bigger garden!
Our little garden
Serrano and Jalapeno Peppers
Our aloe plant- inspired by the Aloe Man we met in Antigua while on our honeymoon. The guy carried a huge aloe plant on his head and walked around the beach selling it to people. He would skin the plant right in front of you, rendering a jar full of aloe, and sell it for 10 bucks. Not a bad deal considering - according to Aloe Man- it is not only good for sunburns but for pretty much every disease and aliment known to man.
