Just over a month ago, Aaron and I planted seeds for a future little veggie and herb garden... and some flowers too for my windowsil!
I have an awesome rooftop at my apartment that I can access at all times of the day and night, so the herb and veggie babies live there and soak up the sun all day long! I am terrible at taking care of plants, but luckily, Aaron grew up with a grandfather who owned a nursery and a mom with a big garden, so he knows exactly what to do to tend to them! He's got the green thumbs I've always wanted I guess, or maybe it's just patience!
This afternoon, we went up on the rooftop to check on the lil babies and hang out for a minute!
These little guys were all planted from seeds we found in America during Christmas break. They are dill, cilantro, and basil, and they were officially "born on April 21st, 2011!" I'm especially excited about the basil... Looks like we'll be making PESTO in no time!
The one I'm most excited about though is the cherry tomato plant! Look at this guy go! He's been growing like a weed and currently has 17 buds, which will produce yummy cherry tomatos in about 2-3 weeks!
I think these should be ready to devour by next week if the sun stays out!
Who would have thought you could have a garden in the middle of the city?!
