… or maybe just thyme.
In anticipation of rain on Thursday, I finally transferred some plants from the windowsill to the large pots on the balcony. I figured the rain would help the plants along as they acclimated to the transfer. I ordered this set of small trowels and spades specially made for indoor or container gardening. They work perfectly. Now, I just wait and let everything grow. I suppose that’s the hard part. The waiting. I haven’t the patience! The mint that’s been outside since March hasn’t really grown much since it’s been potted but at least it’s still alive. Look really close, smack dab in the middle is the midgety mint plantling. One day it will grow into an indestructible weed. Until then, I’ll just have to buy mint from the store.
I got the basil from the grocery store. See how hardy it looks? They did a good job.
The lemongrass I got from an Asian market. You just put it in water and it roots. Imagine that. I actually still have a stalk in the fridge. I thought I’d cook with that one. Make a curry or something.
The thyme is still inside, I’ll keep it inside until it grows a bit sturdier. Right now they’re about a centimeter tall. I might even just leave it as a windowsill plant.
My chili pepper seeds never sprouted even though I’ve tried planting them three times now. I guess they weren’t viable. The sage seeds didn’t sprout either, I’ve also tried those three times now. If I see a rosemary plant, I’ll definitely want to try to grow that again too. I love the flavor of rosemary. I’ve killed 2 rosemary plants already though. Maybe the third time’s the charm.
