Kelley wanted to plant her own herbs to use for cooking, so we went yesterday to the Smith & Hawken in Lawson Hill to get supplies. We are admittedly complete gardening novices. And let's face it - they're just herbs. Kill them (by accident of course), and we can just buy some new ones. The lady who worked there however takes everything very seriously. When Kelley offered some ideas that she had for how to plant them, the lady looked at her skeptically and asked, "Are you sure you're ready for this?" As if she is handing her over a code that's going to destroy the world if she messes up. Really, lady. Plants. These are just plants.
It's a success so far (even if it only is day two). And on the same note, we heard word of a community garden in town that's kicking off it's season on Sunday so we're going to each get a plot of land to grow veggies on! I can't wait. Even though it's cold up here, they say we can grow things like lettuce, potatoes, etc. and they are going to hold classes to instruct us newbies.
PS. It's snowing right now. Lightly. But it's so crazy. It's supposed to get back up to 65 and sunny tomorrow and then 70 over the weekend for the Jazz Festival.

I am so bad with plants etc. that I had fake flowers in Brighton. They look pretty though! I promise! Someone once told me that the typical problem people have with herbs is that they overwater them. FYI. [shrug]
