Almost kinda food-ish

Well - today I planted what I hope to be the start of a nice container garden. I figure that since it is mostly going to be herbs and a couple tomatoes, that qualifies as food and therefore I can yammer about it here. I hope to keep the herbs going through the winter and get enough tomatoes to can.

Here's what it looks like today:














Peat pots in a plastic container on a spare chair. Gonna get a grow light to help them and keep them warm and feeling loved. I plan to make friends with a botanist or something!

What you see there are three tomato varieties, cilantro, sage, rosemary and two basil varieties. Yes I know which is where. The notch you see denotes the front and I have made a map of the seedlings. Yeah - that's right. I am not as dumb as you like to think!

So, when we get sprouts, I will begin to get them sun and then harden them off. Then they will get transplanted into their permanent homes and hopefully I will have some continuous growth. Woo hoo!

This weekend, I hope to make pasta and basil pesto. We will see.
