Look what we’ve got on our roof deck right now:

These grape tomatoes are SO sweet and delicious.

We’ve also got these:

I haven’t tried the jalapenos yet. Letting them get a little bigger. We have 6 more pepper plants of all different kinds, but they are further behind these jalapenos.

I’ve never grown tomatoes or peppers before and am so surprised and happy that they are bearing any vegetables!

We also have loads of herbs and flowers up on the roof. I planted two hibiscus plants. One died when we were on vacation. The other, she’s a beaut! -

When Dallas is home he never lets me use the grill, which is good because “yay! he’s cooking dinner for me” and bad because “hey, I want to play too!” On Sunday he went to the Bears game and was gone for like 10 hours. I ran (ok, ran/walked) around the neighborhood, came home, showered, went to Whole Foods, then came home, marinated, and grilled up a storm. On the shish kebabs are squash, eggplant, red bell peppers, green bell peppers, mushrooms, onion, and chicken. Then I grilled some fruit and had a sundae for dessert. Yum!
