Herby Herb Herb

The herb garden is coming around.  So far we have Dill, Parsley, Cilantro and tons of Basil.  I will have to make room for veggie transplants in the next week or so.  I'm thinking of putting some in containers and tilling a few in the ground.  Pretty soon I'll have to trade in my John Deere stock for an actual tractor.



I will file this in the the Pillar III category.  Ultimate short term goal is to make a completely home-made pizza.

Cukes!

I planted Cucumbers less than four days ago.  I am completely unprepared for transplantation but it needs to happen soon.  This little project will tie in with pillar II and III of my retirement scheme.  I will start off by saving money on produce by growing some veggies, however I will have paid for the seeds.  The goal is to save some seeds from this little harvest to roll over into the next which will satisfy pillar III.  I suppose I could eventually have a never ending circle of veggies once I am up and running. 

I will need some tips on collecting and preparing seeds, if anyone out there is versed in the trade.

Leaning a bit to the right.
