Little Stalky's Green Fingers



Left to Right - Thyme, Chilli Pepper, Mini Tomato,
Mini Tomato, Parsley and Rosemary



I'm very excited to be starting a mini garden on my balcony.  Mystical Roo and I are now proud owners of thyme, rosemary, a chilli pepper plant, two mini tomato plants and parsley.  So exciting!  I love the idea of being able to grow my own produce and in the absence of an actual garden at this time, I figured pots on the balcony was a cool idea.  And I've done my research, determined to try and not kill anything.  So I brought my little herb dudes home, talking to them in the car and have moved them into their new pots, which are now lined proudly on the balcony.  As per instructions from Rabby I have left the Parsley be.  Apparently it doesn't cope too well with being repotted and in protest will often die so he's staying in his original pot.  Who knew that Parsley was so dramatic!  Now I'll be waiting with excitement to see what I can actually grow.  I've been talking to my little herb dudes and offering them encouragement and love.  I even offered to sing to them but Mystical Roo politely informed me that this would not be a good idea.  Perhaps I shall hum to them instead.  So after getting green fingers I've now got my eye on a lemon tree.  We're on a budget though so that might have to wait until next pay day.  But the idea of growing my own lemons is also very exciting!  Be patient Little Stalky.  The lemon tree will come.  In the meantime I have little herb dudes to take care of.  I'll keep you posted, readers, and let you know how I get on.  Wish me luck!
