I’m debating letting these grow in the window to see how it compares to those I sow outside. They should be ready to harvest (theoretically) in another 10-15 days but...

IndoorsI’d thought that all of these seedlings had died off, but earlier this month I found (to my surprise) that one of them had in fact survived. Apparently the significantly more successfully growing parsley had been hiding the little guy. The stalk isn’t too stable, so I think I should r...

First herb attempt at my new house
Parsley Sown, Oregano Sown, and Kitchen Windowsill gardenI bought a windowsill herb garden from Home Depot to whet my gardening appetite. I wasn’t sure how much sun the plants would get on my windowsill, since I’d only been in the house 3 months.Indoors
