Gardening: Take 2
We're attempting to garden again. Even though last year's plants didn't fare so well.
We've done our research on good things to grow indoors/in limited space and decided to just stick to herbs: basil, rosemary, parsley, cilantro, and green onions.
Okay, so we threw a vegetable in there. But green onions are totally do-able indoors.
I think.
And Adam's doing a little project of his own: a birdhouse gourd, because it looks so cool. But, mostly herbs. The thing is, that they can all grow in our window (well, not the gourd, but we've got a big pot outside for it). And we are determined to make this work this year.
Planting happened on Tuesday, and I went all nerdy and made these "Plant Observation" books for the kids. Every day we're going to measure how much they've grown and write any changes we see. I like to give Adam extra opportunities to write. And Grace as many opportunities to color on the table as possible.
I love gardening. It's so magical and fun.
And (hopefully) yummy.

Good Luck. We planted Basel and it never sprouted. Hope that yours turn out better.
