I’ve been enjoying container gardening, and it has begun to take over our porch.
I decided that one cannot have too much basil (yes, it’s a sickness), so I potted two more basil plants. It smells lovely, and makes the porch feel more cozy.
I’m also attempting to grow some herbs from seeds. But as you can see, I haven’t had much luck. Out of like fifty seeds, one measly dill seedling has sprung up. I think he’s getting lonely.
Then there are the rosemary cuttings on the window sill in the kitchen, which seem to be faring better than the seeds. I cut off the bottom half of each cutting’s leaves, and plopped them in water, and voilà! I’ll let them grow for a few more weeks, and then plant them in pots.
You inspire me. I can’t grow basil for some reason, and my rosemary plants always seem to mysteriously keel over on me. :o( I’ve got some new clippings out on the patio now. We’ll see how it goes…

I’m jealous–of the sunshine and of your outdoor space. Being an urban Northeast girl doesn’t give me much of either.
