I hope I'm not jinxing myself, but holy cow I have some brand new fennel babies after SO many germination failures. I just piled the seed in, not expecting them to take, really. It just supports my theory that the more purposefully accidental I am in the garden, the more success I have. It's chaos gardening, I guess. 😆 Grow, grow, grow!

Balkonkräuter Part I

1 / 2

This week I have spent a lot of time staring at six herb pots on my balcony

When I was planting them I labeled each herb on the side of wooden laundry pegs because I couldn't be bothered to suss out how to make tags

Here's dill and some kind of spice fennel thing? I fished it out of the discount clearance pile of a garden store that went bankrupt last year.

Marjoram and basil are very very tiny still.

Sage and chives have given up. May have to attempt with new seeds.

Usually I've grown herbs *historically* indoors, but one of my old cats believes baby herbs are only good for eating or sitting on, so it's been a long while since I've grown any. The outdoors temperatures fluctuate wildly, and the sun and the glass windows trapping heat make the balcony a hothouse on some days, with cold nights in between, I'm surprised four out of six have made it.

I wanted oregano as well, but I haven't found seeds for that yet : (
