Apartment Gardening.


Hey Friends! 
So this past spring/summer I became obsessed with gardening. The idea of growing my own food is just so fun and exciting to me! At that time we had no plans to buy a house so I improvised. I started my own little herb garden. It was really fun and an easy project. 



I only planted 4 herbs to keep things simple.
wheat grass
chives
thyme & 
basil



For plant markers I just wrote on rocks I found with permanent marker.



To start off the garden I went to Walmart and purchased THIS planter. Which made it easy to keep it watered and it was skinny enough to sit in my kitchen window seal.

Then I purchase THIS potting soil. Remember to get seed starting soil if you grow your herbs from seed. It makes things much easier. 

Then I went to our local NURSERY to get the seeds. Which were very affordable and they had a huge selection. 

When I got home I read the backs of the seed packages and got to planting! 
After a few weeks I started seeing growth which is really exciting!

This would be a good beginning gardener project, it's easy and simple and doesn't take a lot of space. You can even plant individual herbs in tin cans if they have good drainage! 
There are so many resources on youtube and pinterest. So if you want to test your gardening skills without getting too committed try out an herb garden. 

If you have any questions send them my way!

Stay tuned for my next gardening adventure in our new house!
