More herbs
The season of danger has arrived; the potted herb plants have arrived at the supermarket. After agonizing over the candidates yesterday, I succumbed to temptation and brought two plants home. One is a Spicy Globe basil, with a nice lemon fragrance. The other is cilantro, which will require careful repotting. Of course, once I brought the cilantro home, I realized that its foliage resembled a tiny seedling that has mysteriously appeared in the big clay pot. I guess I planted some cilantro seeds in there on a whim and forgot all about it. Oops. Some gardener I am. Then again, given my total lack of success with cilantro last year, I'm not expecting much.

I guess I'm a terrible gardener because not only do I plant things and forget about them, I let Mother Nature plant all kinds of irrelevant plants in my pots and then I can't bear to rip them out. But it's really interesting to see what a little seedling turns into!
I wonder if my downstairs neighbor is going to have mitsuba in his flowerpots this season...
