New plants!

So after my last post, I went and nabbed a couple bags of soil and filled all my pots, plus I topped off the big bed where the kale and broccoli should have been.  Anyway, I looked out at all that empty dirt, and just thought dang, this is just wrong.  So today, with Hubbyman's permission, I bought three plants.  Totally made my day.

I went for the perennial herbs first, because I have wanted them anyway, but also because with so many pots, it could prove difficult to fill them with annuals every year.  There is lavender, spearmint, and rosemary.  I'm looking forward to them filling out.  Which, if they're anything like oregano, will happen practically overnight.  But if they're not like oregano... well, then they won't do that, I guess.

Lavender.  And also some crap in my house.  Don't look at that, it's ugly.

Hmm, that other picture kinda sucks.  I like this one better.

Spearmint.

I just love spearmint.  I'm hoping to make a lot of mint tea this summer.  I tried to do that last year, but my seeds were a flop.  So I said screw it and went with an actual plant.  For only about a buck more, I get to skip all that seed stuff!

Rosemary.

I hope I don't kill this one.  Don't die, Rosie!  (I don't have a good track record with Rosemary.)

Hello, what's this, then?

In case you're wondering, that, my friend, is garlic.  Grocery store garlic.  I'm really starting to like this whole grocery store garden thing!  Pretty cool!

The end.
