Growing herbs

I made pizza today and it was so nice to pick my own herbs for the sauce, I only wish I had grown the tomatoes, garlic and union as well… maybe next year?

Growing you own food is fun; well it might be when things are going well. Right now the cucumbers are worrying me to be honest. The tomatoes are all good, well except the one that took a nose dive from the counter… The carrots are peeking up and the leek is in its pot, one kind of potatoes is in the ground.

There…

6 stipa seeds in the soil, keep your fingers crossed. Planted some leftover parsley in a pot and some chives by the climbing rose (it’s supposed to help keep pests away). What else did I do? Oh, I sowed on pot of late carrots. It's not that warm outside and wet so I didn't feel like spending that much time outside today. Tea and a book would have been better but...

Carrots

I’ll tackle it vegetable by vegetable and I’ll start off with carrots since I found some fun stuff about growing them in pots! That sounds like a nice idea and it will be nice with big pots with green stuff in them. I'm pretty sure I'll grow my carrots in pots this year.

Problems: How many pots do I need? And is there enough space in the greenhouse or should I grow them on the balcony? Can I grow leek and dill in pots too, I really want to grow them together?
