Digging In The Dirt, Literally

omorkaPotted:
7 herbs -
Lemon Balm
Mexican Mint Marigold
Peppermint
Pineapple Sage
Rosemary
Sage
Spearmint (a new short-leaved variety; I actually would have preferred the long-leaved)
2 tomato plants -
Cherry Red, a cherry tomato meant for container growing
Early Girl, not a container variety but one I have fond memories of
I still have a third tomato plant, another container type but one that produces salad-sized tomatoes, that I need to get a bigger pot for, and a flat-leaved parsley, which is going to go in one of the strawberry pots with the garlic chives as soon as those come up. I still need to get a curly-leaved parsley for the other strawberry pot. The basils (one green and one purple) are on their way; SoC says the order's shipped, so now it's just a matter of waiting for it to arrive.
Now, I have to drill the appropriate holes in the bean pots and get some twine for the beans to climb until they get to the fence. I'm thinking of getting a third pot of that type to start the squash in, so I don't have to wait for the beans to reach maturity before I plant them. (The pumpkins will get an indoor start and then be transplanted into the bean pots when they're giving out.)
There is a space next to the fig tree in the back that I think I could fit one berry bush into. One berry bush isn't going to do much good, though; they need two plants to pollinate. I return once again to the idea of guerilla gardening in the empty lot beyond the fence behind the duplex - planting one blueberry bush there and another next to the fig tree, for example. Or blackberry, although I think we've passed their flowering date by now.
