My Plant Babies

Though a little late in the spring, I finally had time to make my plant babies today! This is my amateur foray into gardening from the seed, hopefully to make a lovely contribution to the back-porch garden that my neighbor beautifully cultivates. Maybe one day I'll be good enough to plant a whole garden, when I have a front and/or backyard!

I bought two little greenhouses, and I planted some Cosmos and Marigolds, as well as basil, sage, and lemon-balm. I had a fresh-herb pot last summer and loved it, so I can't wait for them to seed so I can transfer them outside. Memorial Day is coming up, which in Chicago means that the winter nasties are safely over and plants can make their move to sunshine.

I'll post my plant-baby progress as the weeks come. Happy Spring!
