We Love Our Mother Earth

Finally! I've just now been able to squeeze in some time to update the blog.  Things have been a little chaotic over at our house this week - our son was battling his first-ever fever that was caused by an ear infection, then a bad reaction to the antibiotics, then loss of appetite, and finally he's back to normal.  Not to mention we received a new shipment of merchandise that needed to be tagged and then uploaded to the website.  Craziness!!
This past Sunday, we celebrated Earth Day by creating a little herb garden.  As I've mentioned before, I'm just now getting a little more comfortable cooking and I find it incredibly frustrating when I find a recipe that needs parsley or cilantro so I go to the store and buy some, only to have it spoil days later because I only needed 1/4 tsp of it.  With that in mind, I decided to make a little garden where we can always have fresh herbs available.  
I had my heart set on a particular pot that I had seen at The Home Depot.  But of course, when we went to buy it, there was only one left and it had a crack right over the edge of it.  So off we went to hunt down another one!  After two more stops, I finally found another one that was perfect.  

I started off with 3 bags of Organic Choice potting soil, my awesome pot, and 6 different herbs -
parsley, cilantro, sage, rosemary, mint, and basil.

Ta-da!! All finished!    

After I started my little project I realized that all 6 herbs weren't going to fit.  I ended up returning the basil because I know how much it will grow and we won't have use for all of it.  I'd hate for it to go to waste. 

I love how my mini herb garden turned out and it only took me about an hour to do it.  While my son was having a blast on his swing, I was able to get it all finished.  Only downside, the mosquitos!! I'm anxious to see how these little guys grow!  Now all I need are cute little markers for each herb...any idea where I can find some?
Thanks for stopping by!
