Natty and Mommy's Garden

I've discovered that I have a pretty good "green" thumb. In efforts to keep myself occupied (like taking care of Natty is not enough), I've decided that Natty and I would start a garden. It all started in the world of Target. Tim laughs at me, but I always have to check and see what's on sale, what's on clearance, and what I can get a great deal on. Of all places, I love checking out the $1 section at the front of the store (when you first walk in). I've gotten some really cute stuff for our apartment for, honestly, beans. Anyway, I was SO excited when I discovered that the $1 stuff was on clearance! You cannot beat $1 clearance items at 75% off! So after rummaging through stuff, I found these little garden-herb sets. They were SO cute. I really wish I would have picked up more. But the set came with its little own clay pot, some compacted dirt, and seed packet. I picked up 3 different herbs - basil, oregano, and chives. I've really had SO much fun. Below are pictures of the progress of Natty and Mommy's Garden.

I'm really excited about the basil, and so is Tim. One of Tim's favorite Thai entrees is "Basil Chicken." It is extremely yummy, and if you like your food on the spicy side, it is muy bueno! In the above picture, you see oregano, chives, and the basil. I got super excited with how well the herbs were doing so I started green bell peppers (far left) and Thai chilies (far right) in the picture below.



If everything continues to go well, I'm going to start some floral seedlings. I'm excited with my new hobby. I marvel at anything having to do with new life - Natty, planting, babies, etc. It is just a constant reminder of what an awesome Creator we serve and love.
