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

Barlow Flower Farm

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!
