summer herbs

i bought 3 baby basil plants during the weekend with miss c.
we went to canning vale sunday markets to pick up cheap herbs and plants.
it's so much better then paying premium prices from bunnings or other specialty garden places.


i cant wait till i can start harvesting...
i dont think i have to wait long... i need to make heaps of fresh vietnamese spring rolls for our melbourne cup pot luck lunch next tuesday.. and that mint is going to come in real handy!

best part about growing your own herbs? not paying stupid crazy $$ prices at the supermarket for a small bunch that only last for a few days. this way i dont waste anything! just take what you need.

check out my other babies below...


my baby basil, mint and coriander plants.

i have big plans for you babies!


my crazy amazing mint plant. they grow so fast when they are looked after properly...hehe
(mint was very neglected over winter)


my little garden patch :o)
they put a smile on my face when i come home and see them.
i just love to see how much they have grown in a day.
now i have a great supply of mint for my summer mojitos ... just need to organise a lime tree...hrmm..
