From Deck to Table

My house jungle of seedlings has turned into a full grown deck jungle! I meant to start a ground level garden this year, but ended up growing from my back deck and it has turned out better than I could of imagined.

I've already harvested quite a bit of cilantro, butter crunch lettuce (and a variety of other types of lettuce), chives, green onions and green and red basil (yummy pesto). Fresh salads are guaranteed each day in August and the cherry tomatoes are well on their way.

Here are a few pictures of what's happening on the deck and a picture of a very fresh salsa I just made:

Some of the Cilantro that survived the cats!
