Basil

How does your garden grow?

Isn’t that a song or a saying or something? How does your garden grow.

I don’t really know… but my garden is growing. Actually it’s growing a little too fast for me to keep up with it!!!

In February I bought some seed pellets and basil seeds so I could afford fresh basil!

They germinated very quickly and I was more than excited. This is/was my project, my baby.

I sent this picture to my mom and she thought it was a St. Patrick’s cupcakes… ummm

It is now April (holy cow!!) and my basil is now ready to be cooked with, smelled, and basically adored.

It is nestled on my dining room window sill. I water it almost every day! Next to my basil (not pictured) are some other small pots of strawberries, tomatoes, and green peppers! I started to grow them all in late February to early March so they are all little babies!

Fresh basil in pinto bean stew 🙂 Makes me happy!

It is so rewarding to grow your own herbs/plants to eat and cook with!

I also made a special purchase. BLUEBERRY PLANT!! (That is for another post though!)

Soooo, what have I been up to?
