For Christmas I bought my mother an adorable window gardening kit from Red Envelope.  In fact, I thought it was too cute to pass up so I ended up purchasing one for my own use as well.  Last Monday I finally got my act together enough to plant the seeds and as you can see below I’m pretty excited about their progress.   Unfortunately I wasn’t paying attention and I planted the Chives in the Oregano pot and the Oregano in the Chives pot. Oh well. At least the Basil is correct.  After they get a little more hearty I’ll transfer them to my window box so I can hopefully grow a gigantic “forest” of fresh herbs all summer long.
