Garden Time

I got this fun little thing at Lowe's. They call it the fragrant garden. Basically you get the seeds for lemon basil, catnip, and spearmint that you plant in these little peat pellets. You then keep it in the little greenhouse looking plastic box and wait for the seeds to germinate. I think that is so much fun! Of course I totally love the little garden appeal of it so these will easily transplant over into my containers once the weather gets good enough. I may also buy the other herb kit they have, I think it is called the Italian garden with basil, oregano, and something else that I can't remember right now.
Anyway, I also bought the big peat pellet container that I started the chili seeds D. sent me on her journey to L.A. (I have jalapeño, tepin, and Anaheim peppers) and I also started some lavender seeds going too. With the lavender I am going to attempt to do topiary balls with them just to try out a little something I read in a book that C-Fresh got this weekend. It looks sort of cool, but we'll see how it turns out for me.
