Spring Fever and A Green Thumb

The warm weather this week has caused a bit of a spring fever at my house. We were dying to get out in the yard over the weekend to clean things up, but we know there is still a chance of a freeze, so we decided to leave it alone for a while. So, to take the place of that, I decided to plant indoor plants! This was the next best thing to doing outdoor yard work, and it brings a bit of the outdoors in.

So, my first "green thumb" project was 3 different ferns for the basement bedroom. I don't know what kind they are, but they are cute and fun!

My second project came to me yesterday as I was driving to work. I've been wanting to plant a few herbs for a while now. Last year, I tried to grown them from seeds and that didn't turn out so well. So, this year, I was determined to buy plants and grown them that way. Well, I didn't take my normal route to work, due to an accident, so as I was driving down Seneca, I passed Dutch's, a big greenhouse and knew I had to go in. So, over my lunch break, I decided to go back and check out their selection. Much to my delight, they had several varieties of herbs to choose from!! So, I chose basil, dill and parsley. I took my time to pick out the prettiest or most promising plants, found a few terracotta pots and was on my way. Now, let's just hope I can keep them alive!

The dill is on the left, parsley in the back and the basil up front. All of the basil plants were pretty small, so I hope this one survives!

And finally, a cute pic to brighten your day!!!

Isn't he a handsome guy?!?!?!
