My Herb Garden!

Yesterday afternoon I transferred the basil plants into their new residence of the herb garden. The seeds which had grown to a size where they needed more room. So they can now fill the last remaining hole in my herb garden!

Previously we had planted some arugula, I think we might have planted the seed in abundance and too close. They are growing slightly.

I have come to be a huge fan of arugula! Living in Italy, it is vastly used in salads, pastas , pestos, and pizza, to name a few of its uses.

Shortly after we moved into our house, my husband and I cleaned up our herb garden. The previous tenants had started it but it had not really been planned or maintained it nicely. When cleaning we left the rosemary, sage, lavender, and rose bush as they were.

Here you can see my little herb garden right beside my husband's grilling area.

BBQ or herbs anyone??

The Basil is Growing!!

The Basil is growing! As I mentioned before I am attempting to see if I have a green thumb.
It's a beauty! From only a seed, now my basil has grown to this!


As you can tell, I am really excited! This gardening thing can be something wonderful!

Growing Basil

My attempts to have a green thumb continue. I thought it would be wonderful to grow basil in our herb garden. So my father-in-law gave me some seeds to begin. I made sure to take some notes from him regarding the process.

I want to add how amazing he is as a gardener. He grows his own vegtables and fruits, he also has his own chickens for fresh eggs. It is amazing how he build his own green house and irrigation system on his land.

So, we will see what happens. Wish me luck!!
