JJ's green thumb challenge
The game: How long can JJ keep plants alive?
The background:
Since I quit smoking, I've become unusually obsessed with being more healthy. So much so that I joined a fitness boot camp (yes, it's true) and am making more food at home to control what I eat. All the cooking inspired me to take it even further and start
growing my own food! But since my apartment is known as the place where living things come to die, I decided to start small by planting some herbs.
The packaging said to plant in May, but I swear they didn't take Canadian weather into account when they wrote the instructions because the first time I planted the poor little things died. I was heartbroken, but eventually regained my strength and here I am, at the start of Round 2. I planted coriander, basil and oregano. So, let's see how long they fare and whether or not they live to be cooked! Mmmm!
Here they are at only two weeks:
