I like having fresh herbs around for my cooking experiments. So far I’ve managed to keep three varieties of mint, rosemary, and basil alive. The latter is now inside, having visibly protested when I found a semi-shaded spot for it on the balcony. I think it doesn’t like the heat. The mint, however, is growing in full balcony sun by leaps and bounds as mint is wont to do. The rosemary….well, it’s alive, but I’m getting the impression that rosemary grows slowly.
Furthermore, the hearts and flowers on the porch is happy as a clam, as are my house plants. So far, so good. Maybe I’ll overcome my black thumb after all.
