Our Capitol Hill Flower and Vegetable Patch

We had an acre of land in Milwaukee with enough space for several gardens. We are fortunate to have a great little place in our Capitol Hill condo for a miniature flower and vegetable patch. It is a very unique set up to say the least. It affords us the same delight to be able to sit outside, have a sip of wine, watch the birds fly in, relax, and watch the flowers and vegetables grow. The garden has transitioned over the years. We added a patch of grass along the building and vines on the fence. We now have a spot for two cucumber plants and one tomato plant. The cucumbers already seem to be doing well. The tomato plant - my husband's favorite - doesn't like the intense heat of late. It flowers, but then shrivels to nothing. We may need to get some plant food, and tend to it as best as possible. Regardless, it is a joy to have it even if nothing comes to fruition. But there is nothing like a fresh vegetable straight out of any garden - especially in such an unexpected place.
