8:56am,  62°F, Overcast
Oh jeez. I get busy and then I neglect this blog (and my plants, to a degree). Forgive me, people that read this and plants on my balcony and stuff! Thankfully the plants are none the worse for wear.
When I did my initial put-plants-outside-again cleanup and stuff, I trimmed back the thyme I [...]

6:03pm, 53°F, Rainy
This blog has spent a good many months severely neglected. My plants only fared slightly better.
But it is spring again, and I’m back to work at the garden center, surrounded by plants all day, which is pretty inspiring. And so, I’m kicking this blog back up onto its feet! Woo! And I’m kicking [...]

So, let me open this up with a question– what’s your favorite herb?
Mine is dill. I love dill. It’s easy to grow, will reseed itself with little fuss (though it may end up in pots or places you don’t expect), it smells heavenly and tastes great. It’s perfect for use in [...]

I had been hoping that my basil had reseeded itself and was coming back. In particular, I had a variety of lemon basil that was absolutely wonderful, though I had a regular variety, too. In any case, I’d spotted a seedling that looked promising in one of the pots.

Sure enough, [...]

8:30pm, 51°F, rainy. Most plants have been outside for the past few days/nights.
Sorry for the lack of posting. It was a busy, eventful weekend. Since this is a plant blog, I won’t include all the details, but I ended up with another horse. Oops?
Anyway, the plants are coming along. I still have a lot of [...]
