sing like wildflowers

My full and kooky life as a homeschooling mommy to 2 great kids, raising a child with HLHS (Hypolastic Left Heart Syndrome), coping with depression, following Jesus, and being much too camera happy.

Ellis and I planted some seeds from basil and wildflower packets. I didn’t have big expectations since I’m a horrible gardener, however, I added perlite to the soil this time. It seems to have made a huge difference in the growth process in these 2 small containers. As you can see, seeds produced a cute and healthy bunch of sprouts within a week.

I wonder if we’ll get to eat our homegrown basil this autumn. That would be a treat for us!

Thanks Cee for hosting! Readers, thank you for stopping by and have a great Thursday.

    Very smart of you adding the Perlite … you have a thumb as green as the basil!
