2005-07-25 06:29:00 ET I got my first beginnings of an herb garden. Gardening, like art, is a past time that my family has enjoyed for generations, and now it's knocking on my door. I got Peppermint (for tummy tea), Lavendar (for insomnia), Rosemary, Sweet Basil, Summer Savory, and garlic chives. They look gorgeous in my kitchen window...now, let's hope I can keep them alive. My dad told me not to get discouraged if they don't survive. Gardening is something that is learned, and most people don't get it on the first try. So here's to my first try...thankfully, herb seedlings are inexpensive, and so if they die, they won't cost an arm and a leg to replace. If I get the hang of this gardening thing, I'm going to try Strawberries next summer. My grandmother on my dad's side had a small patch of strawberries, and I always wanted strawberries of my own. So, we'll try those next year...it's too late for them now, i think. Or at least too late for any strawberries that would grow to be any good. Waylon made food last night, and we harvested a few basil leaves for the rice dish he was making...it was absolutely yum-tastic. The dish it's self tasted fresh (as the leaves were cut directly from the plant, chopped and thrown in as a seasoning). YUM YUM. Off to work with me! |
