About a month ago, I trucked on out to Home Depot and picked up a few planters, some sprigs and seeds for an herb garden. I like having fresh herbs, but hated having to throw away all the brown wilty ones that I couldn’t get to fast enough. My brilliant idea was to start an herb garden (with a little bit of red chili pepper thrown in) so I could just pick off the herbs I wanted while the rest grew bountiful and free. While the former is wonderful, the latter is getting a little out of hand. I mean, I love my herbs, but no one can possibly use all these fast enough. So, I’ve decided to pare down the garden whenever I’m heading to meet friends. Everyone gets a bundle of herbs. Even if you don’t consume them, taking a big whiff of fresh basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary and cilantro is just amazing.
I’m actually quite pleased with the garden, as many of my previous attempts to grow things have ended in brittle, brown death.
