Some Plants and Things

For those of you that got to see 80 plus degree weather in March, we were not included.  Spring has barely sprung up here in Syracuse but Clay and I took it upon ourselves to bring some Spring indoors!  This is when I want a house with a front porch that can have hanging baskets full of flowers and window boxes and a walkway up to that porch lined with little pretty green plants that bloom.  But for now, we will plant what we can living five stories up in the air.

About mid-March we planted our beloved herb garden and flower pot:

Our herbs include parsley, oregano, rosemary, and basil.  We're a little nervous because the seed packets said to plant some of them a foot apart and we planted the seeds about a millimeter apart..and rosemary can get a couple feet tall.  Oops.  Oh well.  We have high hopes for these little guys!

Then, the favors from our wedding were seed packets (with a cute little note too!) so I wanted to be able to plant some of those flowers..the clay pot.  We'll see how everything works out.

To go back a little bit prior to this planting...these may help you understand why we're so anxious for spring:

I genuinely hope Spring is coming quicker for you than it has been for us!  We'll let you know how the plants have been growing!
