It has officially been two months and 20 days since the first seeds were planted into my small plot of dirt outside my back door in my urban garden. It was a bit slow at first, but I am happy to say I had a first harvest last Sunday from the aromatic and happy small bundle of cilantro. It didn't take very long for the first sprouts to appear from the ground, but it did patiently take it's time to grow up big enough to be cut.
The aroma from the freshly cut bundle filled the entire kitchen, and I couldn't get it off my hands after handling it. It made some of the tastiest salsa I have ever made from scratch, and I know it is all thanks to the home-grown care and love.A further update on the garden:
FOUR potato plants
SIX tomato sprouts
lots of shallots
lots of chives
FOUR serrano chile sprigs
lots of thyme
FINALLY a small sprout of basil
Stay tuned for more pictures and updates!!!
Happy Urban Gardening!!

LOVE cilantro. should really start planning herbs. thanks for the inspiration!
anytime!!! I'll post some pictures this weekend of the rest of the garden and it's progress. It is definitely a labor of love and patience, but to see things grow from your own hard work is an amazing feeling! And then to EAT it is an even better feeling!
