I haven't written in a long time because we can't grow anything outdoors at the moment, but I've been itching to plant something and see it grow. Our little precursor to the outdoor growing season was to plant some cinnamon basil and thyme today, because both these herbs can apparently grow quite well indoors. Jennifer and I decided we'd each plant a basil plant and a thyme plant so that we each have something to look after and enjoy.
We've never actually planted herb seeds before, but our mom has and we knew that the process is quite simple. We bought some seed-starting mix at Home Depot and we still had the cups we used for our tomato plants last year, so we didn't need to buy much. We filled the cups with the mix, and because we didn't want the seeds to shift too much when being watered, we watered the mix before putting the seeds in each cup. This way the seeds don't shift but will also stay moist until they germinate. Then we patted a couple seeds into each cup. We are placing them in our living room window that gets quite a lot of sun, so we hope they'll grow nicely. In 7-14 days we should know whether any of the seeds have germinated. I'll give an update then if we've had any luck.
