Petunia's Herbs [COMPLETED]

[petunia]

Hi 

I'm a newbie exploring the different parts of the forum and practicing my posting skills 

Currently, I am growing
Chives (still germinating), Thai Basil & Genovese Basil




I am also growing earth (soil) babies - Basil and Cilantro (rescued from the grocery store) in my kitchen window:

It's so healthy looking, petunia!

I also love the potted rescues.

I have a pot of green onions grown from the ends of store bought ones hidden behing the flowers in my window.

Isn't it exciting?  Every new plant is a thrill!

Yes. I just love watching everything grow 💕 and pinching off leaves to cook with!! The Aerogarden has put it all into a new perspective

CHIVES - Day 11

Sleek chic

[Sher]

Yay, chives! I love their slender leaves... and being able to snip them fresh anytime at all!

[petunia]

Yes.  I will make baked potatoes and sour cream just for this crop! 

[Shawn]

I grow, chop and freeze them so I have on hand when I can't use them fresh. But they are still fresh, just frozen fresh

CHIVES (glamour shot) 

[Sher]

I think chives are beautiful. I actually have chives growing in a pot behind some flowers -- because their strappy leaves add a nice structural element.

[Shawn]

I just planted two pods of chives myself

I agree. They have an elegance to them

That is a good idea growing two at the same time. It gives you enough when you harvest it!

Planting Dill and Genovese Basil to move to kratky 

[Sher]

Thry shoild both do well in Kratky.

I have cleared out the bounty and started a new Genovese Basil that will eventually go to kratky.  The grow dome is still on and I see the first hint of green from deep down in the sponge
