or Basil exposition
Herb greenhouse
Originally uploaded by jicarney.
I was at the Co-op today taking photos for an advertising supplement, and while waiting for the person I needed to deal with, I saw these little herb greenhouses. I couldn’t decide between basil / chives / curly parsley and basil / oregano / flat parsley, so I bought both.
Since the kits included full envelopes of seeds, and only told you to put 4-6 seeds in each pot, I had plenty of extra. In fact, I planted all flat leaf parsley (I want it for cooking, not garnish) and didn’t even open the curly-leaf parsley. And I got all of my basil seeds from one envelope, with plenty to spare. (On closer inspection, I now see that one envelope was for “sweet” basil and the other for “genovese” basil. I used the “sweet” basil.) I may see if my parents want any extra seeds.
I am not known for my green thumb, so we’ll see if we can keep this going long enough to get any usable herbs.
