Let me introduce you...

It's been a while in the making- within the first week of school I had the offer of plants from my partner teacher, two weeks ago I got some pots from one of my neighbors. Yesterday I got some compost mix from the garden center. And today, I finally got the offered plants- as well as some help on planting them. So, here they are!

My new plants!

Meet Mrs. Minty. I'm calling her this, because well, she's mint, and form what I hear, she's impossible to kill, and will have lots of babies. Let's hope it's true! She already smells divine. I can't wait to make tea...

This is Mr. Basil. Don't have much to say about him, except I can't wait to eat him. :)

And these will be the lettuce babies. There will actually be rocket lettuce, baby spinach and kale. I'm looking forward to the fresh spinach, as right now, we've been eating lots of frozen. Fresh greens, yay! I am also looking forward to the kale, because actually, I've never had it! Grow babies, grow!
I appreciate all the garden vibes and positive thoughts you've got to spare. Grow, plants grow!

Oh, and also, my helpers today looked at the other plants I planted the other day, which I was sure were quickly on their way to dead, dead, dead and they said they looked fine. I've been told, they're in shock, and they spring back soon. Yay! :)

All the best to you in your new gardening career! Your plants look beautiful (and tasty!) :) I am quite proud of you in this new adventure of yours, because you sure know that is what I'd be doing if I were there. Yay for gardens! :)
