Misadventures in Gardening

Herbie the Impulse Buy!

During a late night market run on December 23rd, 2021, I saw this herb trio in the produce section. They’ve got rosemary, sage, and thyme; that’s three plants for the price of one!

Before and after unwrapping!

Closeup!

On Christmas eve, I came to the conclusion that Herbie needs a bigger jar… Decided to use some water beads so that they aren’t sitting on their roots as much.

Here’s closeups of the roots and the water level.

Looking forward to expanding my misadventures into cooking experiments!

Herbs Bed Progress Check ✅

I just reorganized my herbs last month and look how everything is adapting well. I did cut my rosemary all the way down, one of them was really stressed after the move, but hopefully will come back.

The highlights are my new free tomato plant, the lemon balm growth

Reorganizing my herbs bed

Most of my herbs are potted and buried in the soil. It makes it so much easier to control, but also easy to move around.

All of these were small when I planted them, the three rosemary bushes grew exponentially and they were keeping the sun from hitting the other herbs, so I moved them around.

I have:

1. Rosemary in the back
2. Sage on the right side
3. Mint & lemon balm next to the sage
4. Thyme in the front left side
5. Geranium in the middle left side
6. More lemon balm in front of the rosemary

Let’s see how they grow!

Got baked and made myself brunch with chives from my garden!
