Growing Salad on the Third Floor!

This is one small part of my container garden, 2 square feet of it to be precise! You are looking at  spicy mesclun greens that I've been cutting since mid april, basil and Italian flat leafed parsley, fresh marjoram and lots of edible violas and pansies! My favorite salad is a composition of all of these things, on top of which I've set  a  poached egg that's been basted in herb butter with lots of fresh chives, some prosciutto that's been frizzled in the same butter, and a yummy wedge of perfectly ripened Brie with a toasted crouton or two! Sometimes I add a few spears of freshly steamed asparagus. Make a simple garlicky vinaigrette and enjoy with a glass of champagne......Such amazing living out of about 5 dollars worth of plants!
