The author writes about taking it slow and not planting everything at once to allow yourself small successes at growing. I like it cause it’s authentic. It blooms with you.
I picked up some frenleaf dill, petite orange peppers, allyssum, rosemary.
The following morning I planted the new plants and began reading through this book on the balcony while slurping on a green smoothie. It was so delightful and scrumptious.
Green Smoothie
serves: 1
1/3 cup frozen pineapple
1 frozen banana
1/3 cup plain greek yogurt
1/2 cup soy milk

Have you ever tried a green smoothie? It sure is a great way to get veggies at breakfast!

My granddaughter is gardening in her 6th floor apartments. A lot of sunlight comes in the windows and she has all her produce in containers on the window cil. I am trying to start her on green smoothies and it is great to see more green smoothie recipes posted here.
Thanks a lot for your info on green smoothies. I suffer from hives stress and have to transform my life to less stress and more healthy eating. Your smoothy seem to be ideal to start, and growing the herbs myself makes it even more fun.
I am also writing a blog on the same topic of gardening is not possible without the container. I am obliged that your research has made my work very much easy and simple.
You can also add some ground flaxseeds and/or chia seeds to boost the nutritional value of your smoothie!
Peace
Mike
