herb garden update

hi guys! now that it's finally sunny again and earth shifted position again and whatever.... sunday, i bought some new herbs and redid my flower pots and box. the small potted plants at whole foods are 2/$5, which is so inexpensive! less than or approximately the same cost as buying those pre-cut, packaged fresh herbs. anyway, so i bought two hardy rosemary's, a spearmint mint, and a greek oregano. i also planted some basil seeds. i've had really good luck growing basil from seeds, but not oregano or rosemary.... also pictured is my tomato beefsteak (planted as seeds) that hasn't figured out what it's doing, it's been like that since the summer. but it's not dead either..and we kinda forgot about it and didn't water it for a long time..... so i don't really know. it's weird. ~Lin-chan ^.~

hardy rosemary, greek oregano, tomato beefsteak, spearmint mint

...and the results!! & cayenne plant

so i did pretty crappy on my accounting final... i somehow walked into the final with an 89 average and walked out with a 78. otherwise my other grades were as expected, so that's good. both my major gpa and overall gpa only dropped within .01 so it's not too bad i guess. it's still not a 3.0. later. ~Lin-chan ^.~

in other news: our plant has peppers already!!! (photos in previous post were taken on the 5th.)

herbs/flower box update!

hi all! in early april, i planted some seeds into our herb box, but aside from the basil..everything failed. so we went and bought a foxtail rosemary and greek oregano from whole foods (2 for $5!). on another note, i guess i hadn't shown it's growth before, but i planted cayenne last year and it kinda slowly died off. then we realized that it really likes water. a lot. so it's started growing again and it's grown a lot all of the sudden! and lastly, here's photos of how crazy ridiculous my aloe vera plant has become, with it's 30 bajillion babies. ~Lin-chan ^.~

herb garden update

sorry for the lack of an herb garden update. but there's not really a whole lot that can be said..except: "dey dead". because of fall and winter, our front window hasn't gotten as much sun. pretty much everything died. and the parsley is still on it's last leg..but it's been dying a slow and painful death pretty much since the day we got it. our aloe vera plant, on the other hand has been thriving like crazy. it loves the bedroom window. the larger section is the original plant that i got when i started college. all the little babies (9!) appeared in the past three or so months. i think that's why i like keeping it around; aloe vera is so easy to take care of. water it once a week or so, put it in a sunny spot, and it's golden and won't die on brown thumbed people like myself. lol! anyway, until we get more sunlight in our front room, i won't plant more seeds or buy anything else. ~Lin-chan ^.~

 

herbs update

so i haven't posted one of these for a while; so here ya go! ~L-c ^.~

cilantro, basil, rosemary. the other two have zero progress, since they've died.

(we put a salsa set on our registry)
that's interesting; the link says there's green pepper seeds too, but we only got these three. oh well, seeds are cheap!

herbs update

here's an update on our little herb garden. the oregano and thyme in the big planter keeled over. booo. so i reseeded the soil pellets (and the planter) to see if we get something going. ~L-c ^.~

so here's an update on the progress of our little herb garden... ~L-c ^.~

plants update

hey guys! a few weeks ago i bought some stuff to start growing some herbs and here's an update on them! ~L-c ^.~

cilantro, basil, rosemary, oregano, thyme

i have no clue what's up with that rosemary; i didn't put seeds along the sides of the pellets........ and that cilantro is just growing like crazy!

a trip to kmart..

a while back, i mentioned how paul and i are trying to eat healthier, here's something else we've decided.. a few weeks ago, we bought rosemary and parsley plants and today i bought some additional herb seeds. the seeds are on sale, buy 1 get 1 free ($1.79 ea), $1.99 for 20 name stakes, and $2.79 for the seed starting kit. so, ~$8 plus time and patience.. i think it's worth it, going fresh instead of store-bought (fresh or dried). i'll post an update on their status in a few weeks! ~L-c ^.~
