So on Memorial Day weekend, I planted a new tomato plant (in a Topsy Turvy) and pots of dill and basil seeds. Here is what they looked like two weeks ago:
We’ve had kind of back-and-forth weather, but the tomato has been growing upwards…and this morning I noticed there is baby dill! And one of the flowers on the tomato plant is turning into a baby tomato.
(You can see how great the weather is today…eh.)
No sign from the basil yet, but that’s okay. If it doesn’t take I might try again and hope for more sun.
All this gloomy weather – and the wind! – has meant spending more time indoors. We recently finished watching the second season of Modern Family on Hulu Plus. After we finished the last episode, this little notice popped up:
“Need a break? You have been watching for more than 3 hours.”
The thing is, we definitely hadn’t been watching that long at the time. So I don’t know about that. But I did like Modern Family!

Hi dear one, If you’ll be wanting basil or dill any time in the near future, I would suggest buying a plant or two. A lot of times you can get herbs in 2″ pots for fairly cheap. I’ll be waiting for updates on how your tomato grows. Will it really do as well as the infocommerical says???
Isn’t Modern Family a lot of fun!
Hmm…I’ll see how this goes and then possibly get some little plants. I don’t want to wait too long…but then again, it’s not like summer has come to Pacifica yet anyway.
You’ll have to hire a guard to watch your dill! Or put up surveillance cameras, or….Just beware. I don’t know what the critter situation is in your neck of the woods, but all of ours was nibbled away. Gone, every last morsel. Now I’m trying basil – we’ll see!
