I have plants! For my birthday, my mom took me shopping and I got a new pot for my peace lily, a plant stand (peace lilies are poisonous so I didn't want to put it on the floor, but it was getting too big for the bookcase), a bag of potting soil, and four herbs. The herbs were mint, curly leaf parsley, sage, and thyme. I already have rosemary and savory in one of the pots. They managed to make it through the winter and I'll repot them in a few days. Even though I only potted it a week ago, I'm thinking of repotting the basil in the large herb pots and giving the mint it's own large container. This is a) because mint will take over and b) I go through a lot of mint during the year when I make mint syrup for tea. I also found a recipe for making sorbet from simple syrup that I could use to make mint sorbet. MMMMMMmmmm...
I also need to play my crop of Swiss chard. I may also use one of the indoor pots to do onions because I would like some green onions and if I keep it indoors, I can control the temperature better.
Man, when
miome and I get a house this year, I am going to fill the garden with plants. I'll finally be able to do a vegetable garden, an herb garden, and a flower garden. Lawn? What lawn? We don't need no stinking lawn. That grass is taking up valuable gardening real estate.
I cannot wait.
