Gardening...my new secret love
For the past three
years I have been talking about planting an herb garden. I don't know
why I wanted to do this, I just had this compulsion. It should be noted
that I have a black thumb. Not a brown one, nope, it's black. Plants
cower in fear. Well most of them do. I have this jasmine vine from
hell, but that a story for another day.
So this year with the help of my friend and neighbor Monique, I made my herb garden a reality.
In my head it was supposed to look something like this. --->
In all actuality it came out looking a little different. Mainly because I was not willing to commit to planting things in the ground. If they are going to die by hand commit suicide, I don't want all the extra work of pulling them out of the ground. So instead, I decided to put them all in containers. They came out looking like this.
I planted rosemary, cilantro, pineapple sage (which smells divine), mint for those mojito's, green and purple basil and chives.
So far, so good.

Your herbs look fantastic! Almost like they're standing proud and saying, "We who are about to die salute you!" ;)
i recently (accidentally) killed a bamboo plant. A BAMBOO PLANT. i thought they were indestructible. nope, not near me. my only claim to fame is that for the past 3 years, i've kept my coworker's plants alive whenever he goes on vacation.
