Spring... Perfect time for planting...

We don't have a very big space for planting at our home. Just a small patio area with a great big view. But other that the fact that the roses have come back and are blooming again, it was looking pretty shabby and in need of attention. It had been bugging me. And my basil had died out and I really wanted a few more herbs. So Friday when the kids were playing with their cousins, I ran over to the nursery to pick a few things up.

I got three different chili peppers, basil, cilantro, oregano, chives, rosemary, cherry tomatoes, mint and strawberries. All the things I use the most. The strawberries are for Danielle. It is her new FAVORITE thing!

I put them in pots on a table just outside my kitchen window.

Paul pulled out some of the tired looking plants. I pruned and planted a few new flowers.

Hopefully in a month or two I can post some great recipes using my new herbs! I hope I can keep them happy and alive. I don't have the greenest thumb in the world. Tips are welcome! Happy Sunday. I wish you all a glorious day and a beautiful week.

Off to tackle the inside of the house now.
