Mardi Gras Queen Basil

I had a little crafty fun today and made a pot for some basil that popped up in the middle of my thyme. I used a milk carton draped with a pretty plastic shopping bag. I felt a bit fancy and added the mardi-gras beads at the end.
Hey, I think I figured out something with my camera that makes the pictures better! I send them from my phone to email. This time I opened "view" first, then "save as.." and I got a nicer pic. Yay!

Fertilizing with Terracycle Worm Castings

We had a two-day cold snap so the plants are inside. I gave them all some fertilizer before moving back to the sunshine. Following the directions, I added a teaspoon to each 4" pot (even newly planted or transplanted) 2 teaspoons for 6" to 10" pots, and 3 teaspoons for anything larger.
