Kitchen Herb Garden

Lately, I have been yearning for a garden. Unfortunately, city living does not afford any outdoor space to call my own. I have two house plants - one made the cross-country drive with us as just a baby clipping from one of my sister's Spider plants. The other is a sweet potato that I think really didn't want to be eaten so it started growing a beautiful vine. I planted the whole potato in a pot and it is very happy.

Although I love my house plants, I would really like to grow food - home grown tomatoes could be one of the most delicious things in the world. In light of space issues, I am focusing on herbs. I bought seeds and little starter cups, pots and organic soil. I planted the seeds about a week ago and already have cute little sprouts. I am growing: Rosemary, Oregano, Marjoram, Dill, Savory, and Basil. For now, the little sprouts live on a table in my kitchen, but I hope to graduate them to the tops of my cabinets where there is nice light. I am looking forward to harvest time already - but starting from seed is a practice in patience.
