Day 142 - May 22, 2010

Ok flower fans, here's another quiz for you all! Also growing in my front yard are these cute little flowers - the blooms are maybe about an inch at most in diameter. They are cute little flowers, but as usual, I haven't a clue as to what they are! I wish I was better with the whole gardening thing - I'd love to have some great landscaping, but alas, I have the black thumb of death when it comes to plants. Even my poor basil plant I bought a few weeks back is struggling. I am trying to keep it alive, but I am not sure it will make it! If anyone has any tips to help, leave a comment!

Until Tomorrow,

Athina

Day 102 - April 12, 2010

A couple of days ago, I was faced with a daunting decision - buy a bunch of freshly picked basil, or buy a potted basil plant. Those who know me know that I can't keep any plant alive, no matter how "unkillable" it may be. I knew that I wouldn't ever finish the giant bunch of basil before it went bad, so I made the choice to buy a potted basil plant. Well, so far, I've had it for four days, and it's still going strong! If I can keep this plant alive, hopefully it will open the door to more potted herbs - because that would just be so much better for cooking than the dried stuff! I can just picture being able to use fresh rosemary, thyme, chives, sage, basil and parsley - yummy! So hope and pray that this little basil plant makes it! I'm sure gonna try!

Until Tomorrow,
