New Life

I've been growing some parsley and sweet basil in the kitchen this spring. I have loved watching the tiny sprouts push through the soil, unfold, and stretch up toward the light. 



My kitchen counter and windowsill is crowded with baby herbs.


Mmm, I can't wait to use this parsley!

What are you growing this spring?

Erin- That would be so awesome!

Sarah- I can relate to the weeds! I'm still surprised I got these guys to grow from seed!

Kim- I'm glad you like the pic, I like it a lot too, but figured it was just me being weird and feeling artsy. :-)

Amber- Thanks.
