So after Christmas I was browsing the local CVS and I saw these great Chia Pet Herb Gardens on sale for 8 bucks! So being that I really felt the need to “green” up my cube, I decided to go ahead and buy one. Wow! Let me tell you, I have NEVER seen anything grow so fast. Within days we had little sprouts, but there is a sad side to the story.
As it goes with most things there is life and there is death. We (a few colleagues and I) decided to name all the plants in regard to their herb name.. So Johann Basil, Dillan and C-Money were dubbed. C-Money and Basil are doing quite well, but sadly even though he started out so strong, Dillan didn’t make it. We had a very small and private funeral, but at the end of the day we knew we had to move on. So he was replace with Parsley Brown.
Im not sure if the planter is cursed or maybe the spirit of Dillan is haunting the office, but it seems that nothing will grow there now.
Ill keep you updated as to how they are doing, no matter what, Dillan will always be remembered.
The Basil is my favorite so I need to harp on it a bit :)

Herbal gardening is wonderful since the herbs can be grown in a variety of ways. Plant a container garden for you deck or patio for great colors, different textures and super aromas. Planning an herb garden in the ground will allow you to cultivate a traditional kitchen herb garden outside. Or if you have limited space, become an inside kitchen gardener and plant your herbs on a windowsill or in a window box.
