#60 Plant a window herb box


“Gardening may seem like just a hobby to many people, but in fact growing food is one of the most radical things you can do: Those who control our food control our lives, and when we take that control back into our own hands, we empower ourselves toward autonomy, self-reliance, and true freedom.” Flores, Food Not Lawns

Just before Nick left to WWOOF in Italy, he bought me a garden box, and 5 packets of organic seeds full of marjoram, Italian dark green flat parsley, English thyme, slow bolting cilantro, and Italian genovese basil. Thank you Nick! :) Since spring has sprung in the East Bay, and we've graduated to 50 degrees + in the evening, I planted everything last Sunday with hope to see signs of life within 5 to 10 days. I am SO excited about my little garden and can't wait to start cooking with what I've grown.

Stay tuned for our window herb box updates. For now, here are photos from Day 1.
