In addition to my ambition on growing
potatoes this year, I’ve also elected to take a stab at a few herbs. I pondered
these options for quite a bit. In fact, originally, I’d planned to grow at
least a half dozen. This idea quickly died, especially as I realized I needed
to start small & see how things went. I think this mentality will help keep
my thumb green & help keep away my black thumb.
I had visions of planting all of my “go-to”
herbs: (all are links to seeds on Amazon) parsley, basil, dill weed, oregano … & maybe even go out on the
limb of trying to grow things like lavender & aloe & who knows what else.
Then I got a little smarter when I sat
back & checked out the “big picture”. Realistically there’d be no way I’d
manage to get all these herbs growing & keep ‘em growing. I’d not be able
to monitor them properly & would probably break their containers before
they’d fully grow or at least make a major enough of a mess to knock the
optimistic wind out of me.
No thanks.
I got myself grounded & I’m ambitious
enough at this point to grow two different herbs. At Dad’s [brilliant]
suggestion, as I’m growing potatoes, I’m also growing chives. And because they’re
a basic herb that are great to top just about anything, the other herb I’m
growing is parsley.
Two herbs; & in my other ambition, I’ve
prepared multiple growing containers in so that I’ll have a few opportunities, between
these multiple containers, for herb growing success.
