I have never liked gardening. I’ve never seen the point of digging the dirt just to make it look pretty for a few months when the flowers are out, then have to pull out weeds all year and start again the next.
I can however see the point to digging dirt etc to grow food. Unfortunately our garden is not suitable to grow veggies, so I have taken to the ‘urban’ route and plan to grow herbs in pots. At 32 I have never grown anything before in my life, I not even been able to keep pot plants alive. I am hoping that the thought of fresh herbs whenever i want will be enough to keep me motivated to water them.
You wanna see what I got?
From L to R: Oregano, Rosemary & Basil
Clockwise from bottom: Applemint, Rocket & Red Veined Sorrel
From L to R: Thyme, Chives & Flat Leaf Parsely
For observant I am aware I need to repot the middle plants, but I had run out of compost and they are being re-potted tonight.
Fingers crossed!
Looks promising – fingers are crossed!
