Yesterday I visited my local
Do It Center and picked up an herb growing kit made by
Ferry-Morse, with these cute little pots. This is something I've been wanting to do for a while and because of laundry, a two year old, t.v. shows, dinner duties (and lunch and breakfast), nail biting, and many other nobel distractions, have put it off until now.
The kit included basil, oregano, and parsley and I purchased a packet of mint because I couldn't have an herb garden with the tasty and aromatic mint!
Anders had fun watching me put the seeds in the dirt and even sprinkled a few himself.
Now let's just hope they sprout! If not we'll try the experiment all over again so that I can revel in fresh herbs!

Our gardening season is so over, it hurts. I think I might do this in February when it hurts the most. Maybe a chance to transplant by then... Hence, the difference in our climates...
One thing I have discovered is that cilantro is totally a cold weather plant. It does fine with hard frost, even into the teens.
I trust that they are all legal.
I should try cilantro Nathan! Thanks for the tip. I'm hoping I can grow these indoors and put them in the sun in a window. We'll see.
Oh, David, unless oregano produces a buzz they are all legal... ha ha
Our growing season is over too. I started some plants last February, but the soil here is so bad that they died when I transplanted them. I'm not actually a very good gardener. Maybe next year I'll try so potted tomato plants, so that I can control the soil quality better.
Seeds have so much potential! We shall see what becomes of your herbs. A farmer needs patience! I remember my mom's snap dragons and got to grow some as a small boy. Memories are made. Maybe Anders will want to grow things. Love, Dad
