Summer Harvests in Paris

     I guess you can take a gardener away from their garden, but you can not take a gardener away from gardening.  Even if they not longer have a garden.  Instead my garden is suspendu so to speak, like 2 stories high.  Every little bit of dirt trudged over concrete sidewalks and up 2 flight of stairs to reside in various jardinaires that frame my windows to the world.  My harvest of cocktail tomatoes have been early this year, thanks to the current hot spell in Paris.  My favorites are the yellow and orange teardrops, but all are succulent.                                                                                                                 My Mara de Bois are the creme de la creme of strawberries!  Each bite a concentration of the essence of strawberry with their powerful perfume.  The way God created strawberries perhaps before man started hybridizing  everything.  God bless old roses and strawberry strains! 
       Instead of running out the door, I now just lean out and snip my various herbs. Parsley, basil,lemon thyme, sage,lemon verbena,  mint,chives, tarragon, rosemary, winter savory and sorrel.  Oh, forgot lemon grass!  Actually, it seems the only plant in love with the hot spell.  In Louisiana my lemon grass would become a giant bush.
       Little peppers are forming now both Thai and espellete(red fragrant Basque peppers).  Last year gave forth adorable red eggplants(Australian) resemblant of easter eggs.  Throw in a few Asian lillies, purple morning glories , lots of petunias,and Angel Trumpets for my flowers. 
      My limequat, tahiti lime and Thai lime complete my citrus  challenge.  Oui, all in pots suspendu!!!
