Here comes the basil

I’ve been so busy this week with our daily 4-mile runs, volunteering at Luther Burbank’s house, doing homework for my Japanese ceramics class, and rereading several of my favorite Anne McCaffrey books, that I’ve had little time to hop on the net. It’s actually been a very nice break. I love filling my time with plants, books, and art.


Look! Our basil seeds are sprouting! We’ve got a couple more days until the cilantro and mint surface. A couple more weeks and then it will be transplant time. Look at the overcrowding that is already beginning! I am in biology heaven.

It’s almost Earth Day so stay tuned for our eco-conscious Earth Week coverage starting on Sunday…

One thought on “Here comes the basil”

  1. Yay for Earth Day! Can’t wait to enjoy your posts for “Earth Week”! I’ve started out my lessons with my students this week by discussing how Earth is the only planet in our solar system with life…Precious and valuable. And why? Because we have water & air. And doesn’t it make sense for us to keep our precious water and air clean? Of course young children see the easy logic in this! That just makes sense! Then we talk about recycling, reusing, and conserving.

    Carrie — this reminds me of when you were in elementary school and how you had such a clear, strong voice on these issues – including your wonderful environmental newspaper you put together yourself, filled with facts & good ideas!

    I love you!
