Chris and the beanstock

Okay. I’m getting into this farming thing. I’m not buying coveralls yet and the sheep aren’t nervous, but my herbs are EXPLODING! I’m following some of Paul’s advice about pinching the basil and in the last week, my pot of herbs has blown up. My peppers are shit and haven’t done anything since I planted them a month ago, and the rosemary is slowly growing, but my one pot of herbs (2 types of basil, greek oregano, cilantro) are doing it big time.

All herbal goodness

If I knew what the hell I was doing, I’d tell you. I don’t! I water them every other day, give them lots of sun, and pick off the top part of the basil when I water. I stick them in the freezer for use in a pesto/soup in weeks to come. Don’t judge me because my herbs are beautiful. I know what you are thinking. Steroids. Am i right? I haven’t even put poo in the soil. This is natural baby. Don’t hate the player!
