Garden Gift + New Look Coming Soon

Since my in-laws don’t read this blog, I’ll share with you what we’re giving them for Christmas.

My MIL loves all things “Tuscan” and my FIL loves to cook. So Chris dreamed up the idea of a potted herb garden – serves both aesthetic and functional purposes! We bought them these two pots, with the smaller one to sit raised within the larger one.

Since it’s December and garden centers aren’t carrying herbs, we had to grow our own. We started them from seed on Dec. 1st, in hopes they’d be nice and pretty by the 25th

Only 5 days left - grow little plants…grow!

In our South-facing “Garden Room”, we started:

Rosemary (cutting)
Thyme (cutting)
Cilantro (seed)
Chamomile (seed)
Italian Parsley (seed)
Basil (seed)
Chives (seed)
Mint (seed)

And yes I rotate the pots so the plants can upright themselves daily.

I sure hope my in-laws get lots of use out of this present!

I haven’t really been happy with the way my blog looks for quite a while now, but with school I haven’t had the time to update and simplify it. Now I have no excuse. I’ve been working on a simpler version that is easier to read, and hope to launch it in the next couple weeks. Happy New Year indeed!
