I sowed some basil seeds this morning and about a month ago I did mustard seeds. So, now I just wait and hope that everything grows as it should! I am also harvesting some rocket seeds.
Oh yes, the kitchen deserves some love, as this is (for me at least) the most important part of any home! It is where the proverbial magic happens.
Nice, I have 2 big pots of basil inside. They are doing so great. Have harvested a lot from it. Some I did freeze in before the 2 times we went abroad for 3 weeks.
Every day I have some fresh basil in the salads 🥗
It’s beautiful to watch it grow… hope all goes well with the seedlings.
Yep, for me too.
So I make sure it will look nice when I finish with the kitchen 😊
I planted some basil seeds last week, I desperately want to make some basil pesto! I am glad that you can at least grow them inside! I did not realise that they do well indoors. That is so interesting! Do you have growing lights?
Hope you manage to make some pesto 😊
In the summer months I took down the growing lights. But now as the daylight we get, gets less and less…. I have to put the lights on again. As sunset is already at 15:30h. Soon we only have light for 4 hours.
Basil does very well inside. Try it out. I have them at a north / east facing window.
All my seedlings I had to start inside under grow light as there was still snow until June.
Oh my, I might then just try to grow some indoors! The kitchen gets most of the sun throughout the day, so perfect spot to grow some basil. The smell is intoxicating when you rub them or even just brush past them.
Thank you so much! Nothing like some freshly made pesto.
Oh that is so intriguing. I remember the early sunset when I was in Sweden, it really messed with my brain, I always got hungry (as we normally ate at sunset) and I was sleepy-tired at 5 pm because my body thought it was long enough time in the dark and it wanted to sleep.
Sounds like a perfect spot for the basil. Oh I know… when I look at my kitchen window I might touch the rosemary and sage too… it just smells so good 😊
Yep… I have the same. It is totally messing with my body clock. Thinking it is bedtime but it is only 1800h.
So weird… in many ways. The sun is very low now. Luckily today a sunny day, later we get more snow ❄️
I always dry some rosemary and lavender in the window, so the kitchen always smells nice. Adding basil will make it just that much better!
Oh I would never understand and come to grips with that! My body as you say will already be asleep hahah. Luckily we do not have that problem here. (Or not that bad, in my town the sun only sets around 20:00 but where my fiance live the sun sets at 18:30, so I still experience it in some sense!)
Yes, the smells… lovely.
I fully understand.
Here it is changing quickly now. A week ago sunset was already at 1600h
Now it is already 1500h it will get less and less fast.
I posted today a sunset from last Thursday. It was epic.
A big difference for the two of you. One will notice.
Have a nice Sunday 😊
Oh my, that really sounds crazy. So much less sun, and even the little sun you get is probably not that effective in terms of UV rays (for vitamin D) and for heating you up. I know, in the winter, I always sit in the sun to warm up a bit, as the houses in South Africa are not built to keep warmth inside, the houses become colder than the outside in the winter!
In any case, I hope that you had a good weekend!
