Planting New Herbs

 I almost always have fresh herbs growing inside the house, 
but for one reason or another some have died off.

I saw this on Amazon and fell in love with it....
It came with 3 pots, a tray to put them in and labels for the front of each pot and some extras.
But, I did not read the entire description, I thought it came with soil and seeds but alas, it did not.
That's o.k., in a way, that was awesome, as it gave me an excuse to visit my local Garden Center

I bought a new bag of potting soil, some Basil and Dill, my 2 favorites...
I rolled up my sleeves and got to work!

We don't get any more news papers, or shopping bags here in New Jersey,
 so I used aluminum foil to protect the counter.
I felt like it was wasteful but I needed something and I was happy I laid it down.

The hubs made this "cage" for the Scallions with the chopsticks we usually bring home from a
Chinese Restaurant.
I have had Scallions growing inside for years.



They were so tall, even though I clip them and use them all the time.


When I have too many or they get too tall, I clip them and freeze them.


Dill - Scallions - Basil

My favorite part were the leather handles on the side.

Placed by a sunny window, I know these will do very well.

And speaking of Chinese Restaurants, we have a good one, 
that also serves sushi and Thai food.
We stopped there after Barlows and had a yummy dinner.

The hubs had Sesame Chicken and brought half home.

I had Sushi
Shrimp Tempura and a Sweet Potato Roll
I don't eat uncooked Sushi and I too brought home half of mine.
The food was really good!

I love the planter you purchased. Such a pretty set-up!

I have never had luck with growing herbs. You inspire me to try again.
