Wow, it feels like spring wont get here EVER. Today it was raining and so wet and brrr cold. We were remembering that we were on our honeymoon and one of the days was like this. eyick!

I spent this day doing laundry and working in the house. I read a book and hung out with Steven.

Tonight I finally got around to planting my “starter set” for my little herb garden.

Last year I had a lot of luck with Basil and hot peppers.. my mint never “started” and the cilantro got all burnt up in the sun when they were little babies. Hopefully I will do better this year!

The starter greenhouse is so cute. They are little net bags of peat that expand with warm water. You water them and then open up the bag a little to put 2-3 seeds in and then cover them back up with the peat. Then later after the plants get a little bigger you pick all but the biggest one and plant that in either the ground or a bigger pot. I plan to put them in planters on my screened in porch.

Hopefully I will have enough cilantro and peppers to add with the tomatoes from my Daddy’s garden that I can put up salsa. Basil grows really well and I hope to combine that with onions and tomatoes as well as zuchini and make a tomato sauce to put up.

I am trying mint too.. I would love to make my own mint tea! Wouldnt that make a fun gift?
