Sweet Basil

last year, i attempted herbs in a pot and wasn't very successful. pot + need for lots of watering = poor care from me and dead. so, this year i decided to plant my herbs in the ground and that was much more successful! i'm not sure if technically it's appropriate to grow herbs outside of a pot....but it works for me. :0)

my sweet basil has gotten huge and was taking up our walkway. since i'm planning a few recipes this week with sweet basil i decided to bring a bunch of it in to have it handy in my kitchen. it actually makes a pretty arrangement and smells sooo good!

i love sweet basil so much. the way it smells and tastes. we also planted thyme, chives, oregano, tarragon and rosemary.



and molly taking a peek at it. :0)

i hope everyone is enjoying the weekend so far! our last weekend before school starts back for paige. i don't think I'M ready for the school time schedule....i wish summer vacation could last forever. :0)
