Who has the Green Thumb?
One of the things I had been looking forward to in our new place was having the ability to TRY and grow some herbs we could use when we cook - I have fond memories when I was little (very young, pre-divorce) of eating vegtables my dad had grown in our garden. I figured I would work my way up to vegatables.
Well, without a house, I thought this might have to wait another year. We went to Lowe's this weekend to get some fresh soil for our plants (they were starved of nutrients) and while we were there, we got these mini "windowsill greenhouses" -- it's a small plastic container that holds 24 of these little soil pods. The soil is in these little discs and they expand after you add water -- Gardening for Dummies! We decided to each be responsible for one greenhouse - Adam is attempting to grow dill and oregano and I am growing basil and parsley.
We did this project on Saturday afternoon and are already seeing little spouts flourish. The top photo is Adam's - no idea which herb this is. I would like to take credit for what is growing in my greenhouse, but I can't -- Our friend S showed up right when we were placing our seeds in the little pods. He was so critical of the crappy way that I was burying {actually the problem was my lack of burying} the parsley seeds that I let him do the basil.
Stay tuned as we track the herbs!
