Budding Herb and Flower Garden

I am so psyched about finally trying my hand at gardening. More importantly, I can’t wait to have all the cilantro I can eat.

So, I literally have not tried to grow anything since the first grade where the class did lima beans, but last Sunday, B and I planted all sorts of vegetables, and I threw in a sunflower mix. It’s been less than a week and some are sprouting! I haven’t killed anything yet! Yay!!

In our collection: cilantro, mint, chives, thai basil, thai chiles, arugula, lettuce, catnip (for the l’il kitty), butternut squash, and the summer flowers.

The next challenge will be to plant them somewhere they can actually grow to their full size. Good thing we have about a month to figure that out…
