Another Green Day
This is a follow up to my earlier post, Green Day.
I decided a few months ago to try and grow my own herbs and vegetables, just to see if I could actually grow something!
Let me first say that I’m not a gardener by any means. Green fingers I do not possess. However, I think the scents from certain herbs like thyme, rosemary and basil are wonderful.
So I decided to plant a few herbs and peas. I had two reasons in mind. Firstly, it was an excuse to photograph a subject I wouldn’t normally consider. Secondly, it was a reason to get my girls involved and hopefully instill in them the love of growing stuff! If grow-it-yourself floats your boat, then check out this website
Germination takes place relatively quickly. It only takes a few weeks in fact, making it an excellent project for teaching children the wonders of nature.
Did this project come to any fruition? Alas, the thyme did not fair well at all. Parsley blossomed and my peas did exceptionally well!
Will I continue to grow my own herbs and vegetables? Hopefully. Did I instill the wonders of nature in my two girls? I think my two buds need more time to germinate!
