It’s been over a month since I posted an update about my little herb garden. Well, it’s not so little anymore! In fact this week, I removed all the herbs from the Aerogarden and planted them in soil. Yep, that’s one of the basil plants in the photo. You can see the originally pics of it, just after it sprouted here. Can’t believe how big the herbs are now! Of course, they might not all survive being planted since they were grown in a water environment. It’s got to be quite a shock to their poor roots, but I’ve got my fingers crossed. They were looking pretty limp the first day in their pots, but have bounced back for the time being. Next up, I want to try growing some sage from seed again. There is way more sunshine nowadays compared to when I was trying the herb garden back in the fall, so things should grow better.
Speaking of growing better… hubby finally got the veggie seeds to cooperate!! We have a whole assortment of things growing now including: tomatoes, lettuce, green onions, cucumber (seen in photo), and cabbage. There’s a corner of our living room rigged with a mishmash of lights and rows of plants. I’m sure our neighbors probably think we have a grow-op on the go. Dear, oh, dear… well, it shouldn’t bee too much longer… we are hardening the plants (putting them outside in the shade and cool temperature) and some seeds have already been planted outdoors. Hubby made a neat cold frame for the veggie bed, so that should help things along. It’s exciting to think that we might have our own veggies to pick this year! And we have a LOT of tomato plants, so I might be making sauce all summer long. It will be quite some time before we can harvest our own veggies, but we plan on checking out the Asparagus Festival at the end of the month. Sounds like a fun time!
Have any plants started (indoors or outdoors)? I’d love to hear about them. Leave a comment to share your green thumb adventures.
