Here is a little update from my sidewalk garden since June. Things are looking lush and green (especially the bamboo).

The catnip started to produce purple flowers. The cats love to the leaves.  They get so happy nibbling away they end up falling down on the catnip.  Thank goodness it’s still standing.

On the far right, notice how nasturtiums have a tendency to mix with the climbing ivy. I am surprised at how easy they are to grow. The flowers come in neat orange, red and yellow colors. It would be a great little flower kids would enjoy planting.

These are some plants I’m growing in pots.  It’s hard to see, but the bamboo plant is growing strong and turning green again.

I also got myself a little Meyer Improved Lemon tree, it’s really more of a stick with a few leaves.  They are suppose to produce tangy, juicy, medium-sized lemons.  But I’m sure that won’t be for a long while.

There is also a skinny aloe vera that needs some new soil soon.  The round cactus doesn’t require much attention.  And in the back is some peppermint.  The big green leaves in the background are just Ivy.
