A Little Garden

This spring, we decided to plant a little garden in the form of two window boxes that live on our kitchen bench.

We had originally planned to put window boxes on the window sills outside our windows. However, finding a way to secure the pots to the window sill proved difficult, and we didn’t want to risk them falling and injuring someone.

In one pot we planted radishes and mixed lettuce, and in the other we planted mint and parsley. Our seedlings are almost two weeks old. The radishes were the first to emerge and now tower over the others, while the parsley has only appeared in the last day or so.

I haven’t grown anything since I was a child, and it is exciting to watch the seeds sprout and grow. The first thing I do each morning is look at the garden to see what has changed.
