My Little Indoor Herb Experiment

I ordered the Italian Herb Garden Kit pictured at the bottom of this post from Amazon just the other day before the two big snow storms came in,  and it was delivered to my front door yesterday. Fast delivery despite all 8+ inches of snow. Anyway, this little set of olive green ceramic pots with matching tray is darling. The pots themselves are small because they were made to sit on the windowsil, but with all three sitting in the tray, it is quite lovely. Soil pellets and three different kinds of herb seeds came with the kit. I needed to add a bit more organic soil and could hardly see the tiny Oregano seeds, but it was very labor nonintensive. I recycled my old fudgsicle sticks and used them as markers, and I covered my little pots with recycled plastic sandwich bags. I figure that if the seeds don't germinate, I can always plant herbs from the local nusery in them. I sowed the Sweet Basil, Chives, and Greek Oregano seeds that came with the kit. I have never tried growing herbs indoors, so this is an experiment for me. I actually have a green thumb, so I feel confident that I will just love this little set.

Hmm, I didn't mean for this to be a review of a product, but it sure sounds like one, so okay, I give this 5 stars. Lol!

Here is how it looks with some of my plants for now...

And here is a close-up...

Can't wait to see how the seeds do.

Oh yeah!  I took the photos with my daughters new Nikon D60 DSLR super cool, very expensive camera.  Ummm, I see many photos in the near future!!!  I'm in love with her camera.

Who Am I?

"I seem to have been born an independent person, and following a bit of the unconventional path just comes naturally for me. I am a dreamer, yet I can be practical. The circadian rhythm is elusive to me and strict, authorative rules just go against my principals. In other words, I am a night owl and I tend to peacefully revolt when things get uptight. I am full of curiosity, but I easily get bored and distracted by the next interesting thing that comes along. However, I do focus on the paths of the healer and keeper of the green -- I have been a Registered Nurse for years, and have been a gardener / nature lover since childhood. I am a peaceful activist for our Mother Earth -- I pick up litter, plant trees, eat & live mainly organic, and I am a member of The National Wildlife and Arbor Foundations. My backyard is a certified Wildlife Habitat. I believe that anything is possible and I see beauty and enchantment everywhere. I consider myself open-minded, and always ready to learn something new."




* The piece above was a bit of an experiment for myself. I decided that I would write a little bit about myself and found that it was more difficult than I thought it would be. Funny how I don't really think about who I am. I usually think about what I need to do or who somebody else seems to be. Makes me wonder how I get through the day! I did leave out a few things that I felt uncomfortable about sharing. Hmmm, another thing to put in my pipe and smoke...Why do I feel uncomfortable with some things about myself? They weren't bad things really. I suppose I should have added, "And I have some issues I need to work on."

What Does "Moon Path Woman" Mean Anyway?

"One balmy night, when I was a young girl, I stood in the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico and looked across the water and watched in awe as the full moon rose above the horizon and cast a long, glimmering moon path reaching away into the distance, stretching from the earth to the moon, bright and silver, straight and smooth.  I was enthralled by the beauty and the wonder, and so my facination with the moon began and Moon Path Woman was born."

In The Night

I am a night owl, so I will most likely be here in the late hours of the night or wee hours of the morning. Eventually, I may post, but for now, I'll just follow a few blogs. I wish there were more hours in the night!
