Adventures in gardening...My new herb (and cactus) garden

I have been wanting to garden for the past year, but in Newport we don't have any land. I finally sucked it up and went to Lowe's to buy some pots, soil and herbs (as well as a jalapeno tree) to add to Nick's succulent/cactus plants out on the back deck. I hope to have some recipes soon using my new herbs. For now check out my cute garden.


Right now I have jalapenos, rosemary, two types of sage, Italian parsley, oregano, thyme, chives (from seed so they just look like an empty pot with dirt), cilantro, peppermint, and basil, along with Nick's succulents and cactus. I hope to add a lime tree, strawberries, more mint (chocolate), green onions, and veggies in the future.

Quote Friday....Feeling Adventurous


I need more of this "adventurous" feeling everyday. I know that I'm more adventurous than some but I still have my drawbacks and sometimes miss out on open doors due to fear. Nick reminds me that I think too quickly about all the possibilities and sometimes miss out on the adventure.

 Do you ever feel/ act this way? Or do you always just take the plunge?

We took the plunge and booked a last minute Labor day Cabo trip....bring on the margaritas!
