Kind of. Maybe. Okay, not really sure, to be honest. I did a little "guerrilla gardening" is all, so no big deal. I took these guys...

...and planted them. Outside, in a little strip of land, between two fences separating my building from the building next door. Not sure why there's a space between the two fences...or who technically owns it...but it's now my garden. Nothing major---some herbs (basil, parsley, etc.) and some sweet peppers. There might be some additions in the future, we'll see how it goes.
Due to the somewhat questionable nature of planting herbs in land that you don't really "own", we decided to plant at night so as not to raise the suspicions of the locals:

What? There's no law that says you have to wear shoes when planting.
It was all going swimmingly until the last little plant, when some guy that was going into our building stopped and glared at us suspiciously from afar. Lauren said hello and reminded him that she lives here, and he went on his way. I hope he doesn't tell...I wouldn't do well in jail...
Not to alarm you, but I have found that basil grows best in a large pot. Just a heads up if you don't see any good growth form it in the ground.
ReplyDeleteI believe the logic behind putting basil in a pot is born of the fact that basil has a pretty "weedy" like nature...crazy roots and it tends to spread. So the pots keep it quarantined in a garden where one is trying to grow other stuff. However, if basil and a few other spices are your entire garden...I think you'll be okay.
