Herb cloche and my contribution

I am so proud of myself! I actually grew some basil from seed indoors.

This is the finished product before I transplanted

it outside where it continues to grow larger

each and every day.

I found this basil kit at TJ Maxx several

weeks ago when we visited my daughter

and her family. It included everything I

needed (seeds, soil etc.) along with the glass cloche

and the cute dish it sets on.

As you can see, it is just starting to grow in the

photo above. These were little hard pellets of soil

and I had to add water , watch them expand

and sprinkle on the seeds...

cover with the glass cloche and watch it grow!

There was fine netting around the pellets

so I had to tear it a little, fluff the soil and

then sprinkle on the seeds.

growing taller by the day...

Ready to plant in larger pots and then in the ground.

I planted the seeds on May 31 and this picture

was taken June 23 so it didn't even take a full month

for them to grow this large. Now I also have another cute cloche to add

to my collection.

P.S. I had a great week with my sister visiting, but

it was dampened a bit, by my having to contribute

a nice chunk of money to a local goverment that

I was not planning on doing...get my drift?

But we had fun anyways!!!

{yes, it was a speeding ticket, but I can explain...

it was not done intentionally. Was heading

out of town...and my gas pedal got up to 50 mph before

it was supposed to or else I was talking too much!

I will be paying better attention from now on...

I haven't gotten a ticket in yearsssss...
