Gardening - take three.

Up until recently, I was doing pretty good with my indoor garden. Then,  unfortunately, my primary plant – basil – came down with a mysterious case of “white dots all over it.”  I couldn’t find any potential diagnoses on the Internet and afraid to use it in anything,  I let it die.  But I’ve brought back the entire effort from the dead – pun intended – with a new approach.   (FYI, the oregano plant, as you recall from the veggie pizza post, continues to do just fine.)

For the second time around, I picked up a long planter and some potting soil from the local florist.  In it, I placed thyme, rosemary, sage and re-potted a new basil plant as well.  After a week’s worth of watering, I noticed yesterday that some shoots were starting to form! Very exciting.  More on this effort as take three continues.  In the meantime,  here are some photos!

The rosemary shoots. Tiny, but there.

My very efficient labeling method - black marker on Scotch tape.
