Garden Update

Happy Saturday, folks! We’re halfway through May (somehow), and we’re getting warmer every day. You might remember I wanted to get into gardening for my birthday. My husband got me a portable greenhouse and a book on gardening as a gift, which is lovely, and one of my friends gave me gloves and a watering can! I decided to treat myself to two herb plants from the grocery store. That way it’s something I could use in my kitchen, but if I ended up killing it, it wouldn’t have been that expensive a mistake. Well, let’s just take a look here…

The top picture is the day I got them. The bottom picture is from yesterday. I get the feeling Mr. Potato Head is about to start screaming about how I’m a murderer.

I tried. The instructions with the plants said water at least once a week, which I did! I felt the soil first to see if they needed to be watered, too, and I’m fairly certain I didn’t overwater. Now, the greenhouse fell over a couple times in storms before I discovered I could zip tie it to the railing of our balcony. Maybe that was part of the problem?

I’m not going to give up, though. I feel bad I killed these plants before I could use either of them, but it’s a learning process. I didn’t just forget about them or leave them to their own devices, but I have a lot to learn.

If you have any ideas (plant CPR? fountain of youth? necromancy?), I’m all ears. Otherwise, these plants are going to plant Valhalla.
