“Gardening,” Manhattan-style

Basil in a bag!

I’ve got Basil!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, kind of. At the moment I have a few baby basil sprouts, but it’s a start!

I found these adorable veggie-in-a-bag things at Crate & Barrel a few weeks ago and immediately scooped up the basil and the tomato. Even though I am the worst plant-grower in history and have left a trail of dead plants in my wake, I am so in love with the idea of growing my own herbs that I just had to give this a shot. And how easy is this version of an herb garden!?!? Cut open the bag, put the included seeds in the included dirt, water, and wait! Even I was able to do it!

I wonder how much longer it’ll be until I can actually eat any of the fruits of my “labor” . . .

Oh, and I’ll have you know that I did this BEFORE this article about the White House veggie garden came out in the NY Times. I’m not always 3-months behind a trend! Really!
