PIP kitchen windowsill herb garden (XP)

[315bride]

I finally set up my windowsill garden in the kitchen. Walked over to the garden center today and got some new herb plants. Mint, thyme, sage, rosemary, and basil.

Love the tray, that's really cute! I'm jealous, I would love a window sill garden but my beast of a cat murders all things green

I love it. I've been meaning to do the same - I just need to get my butt to the nursery!

Awesome! I love it! I wish I had windowsills wide and high enough for that...Mine are either shallow or so low Rubes would consider them her personal sandbox..lol.

We did however redo my flower bed out front today with things that will actually grow an antique wagon and an old milk can! I'm excited!

I love it! Every time I try to grow anything it ends up living a short life... black thumb I tell ya!

Looks great!

That looks fabulous! I'd like to do something similar on my patio, but I'm afraid I don't have a very green thumb.

I love mint!!

I have some potted on our porch, but I always use it up in the summer before it grows very big

I love crushing up mint and putting it in diet sprite or sierra mist. Kind of a virgin mojito, I guess. But it is quick and refreshing on hot days!

[315bride]

Yeah, the mint is meant for mojitos.

That is super cute!

That looks great! I started my herb container garden on the patio last month, but didn't do enough reading on cilantro before I planted it. I assumed it was a long-term herb like basil or sage, but apparently it has a short life span before it flowers and seeds. Plus, it's getting eaten by tiny caterpillars. So much for growing my guacamole in the back yard!

Flokat, I did the same thing to my cilantro last year, I was so mad!

[315bride]

Yeah, with cilantro you need to pinch frequently so that it doesn't flower. Otherwise, you get coriander.

Mine seemed to flower overnight. I was busy trying to look up what was eating it (while ignoring the sage and rosemary in the same pot) and it feathered and bloomed in something like two days. Oops!
