So this blog won't be another political rant about the latest governmental fiasco/take-over/mess-up.  I'm not in the mood.  And, luckily we all seem to have survived the media-created panic surrounding the swine/pig/h1n1/FlyingPig Flu (at least for this news cycle).  I thought I'd talk about herbs.  Specifically my indoor herb garden.  I have an assortment of herbs I like to grow and add to various cooking recipes.  Right now I have some very strong Basil plants which are quite fragrant and a great addition to lots of different dishes, especially pastas or other Italian food.  Along with the Basil, the Parsley and Chives are both doing well.  The Dill is a little thin though.  It takes time and practice to figure out exactly how much to water, how much light the plants need, and other little things.  I started some veggies too.  Beefsteak tomatos and lemon cucumbers.  I repotted the tomato seedlings to a larger pot, but they are looking kind of weak.  Hopefully they weren't damaged too much.

Gardening is a rewarding hobby, and you don't necessarily need a big yard to do it.  Indoor gardens are relatively inexpensive.  An indoor light is probably the biggest expense.  It also depends on how serious you want to get.  A south facing window that gets a good amount of sunshine is great for a windowsill garden.  I'll try to get some photos posted in the next few days of my garden.  Later,
