You really win." Okay, so I probably watched White Men Can't Jump too many times when I was younger. What can I say, the basketball obsession started at a young age. =) However, this quote stuck with me for one reason or another. There is actually a whole dialogue that I can quote, but I won't do that here. The point of this post (I know, I know get to the point!) is that you can actually win by losing. Sometimes.
I was going to extol the benefits of growing your own herbs indoors in the winter. It doesn't require much but a window that faces South, and some water. Unfortunately, due to the craziness of life, I kind of forgot that second part.
Whoops.
I did have some beautiful Italian Oregano and Thyme here that I painstakingly transplanted and nurtured for the last year and a half. Seems like a loss, no? NO!! The fantastic thing about inadvertently killing my herbs is that I can now strip the plants to have dried herbs. (Yes, they are THAT dead.) The other benefit is that I can head to my local nursery and see what they have growing, while I pick out new herbs to try not to kill. =) Somedays I wonder why anyone would follow my gardening advice.
Okay, most days. =)
This is shocking Miss Green Thumb! Really, I'm just glad I'm not the only well-intentioned one who has neglected poor, defenseless plants :)
ReplyDeleteThere are herb seeds hiding all over in my kitchen. Let me know if you want the key:). I killed herbs last year and I didn't work! Let us know what you plant next:).
