The Start of My Journey Into Medicinal Herb Growing

]]> Last week, my medicinal indoor herb kit arrived. I opened it up – and started right then and there. My enthusiasm for this idea knows no bounds. Out of 12 herbs, I chose to grow Valerian, Lemon Balm, Milk Thistle, Echinacea, and German Chamomile.

After a week, some of the seeds have started sprouting…which proves that at least my thumbs are partly green. I took some fantastic pictures, but alas the usb port on my camera cable is bent, and so all pictures will have to wait, until I replace it.

Hopefully they will keep growing….I am getting really excited about it, and can’t wait to start using them. The one thing I have learned already, is to make sure you mark your rows. I neglected to do that, and now I don’t know which herbs have sprouted and which haven’t. A mistake that will not be made on my next attempt. Oh well, its all a learning process.

Will report more on the garden in a couple of days.

In the meantime, to tie you over-here is a picture of what Lemon Balm is supposed to look like.
