Garden wall


So today I added more plants to my wall. We don't have much of a garden but we do have a wall that has full sun although on the floor allows for part shade. Lately I've been expanding my little garden.

I started with herbs, very easy to grow and require little effort. I now have thyme, rosemary, coriander, mint, oregano, and parsley both. These I grew from seedlings. But now I'm one upping my game and trying to grow rosemary and parsley from seeds. In some tiny terracotta pots that I painted with green paint and chalkboard paint i planted the rosemary and half the parsley which will hopefully be grown enough to make super cute Xmas gifts. 
As you can see in the large pot at the bottom there are some tiny tufts of green...a new addition of carrots! Hopefully they'll be awesome and go well with my new capsicum plant and older pots of spring onion, spinach, and garlic. Not to mention my jug of leeks....did you know that you can re grow the ends of leeks in a little bit of water?! I'm very excited to watch them grow in a new glass jug.

I start my new job tomorrow, and I will admit to feeling very scared and nervous about it. To mark my entrance into the adult workforce today i planted some seeds of bok choy with the idea that it's a fresh start, a new beginning. 

I'll admit though I'm not very good at gardening so once they're ready to be harvested I'll have no idea what I'm doing! But I guess I'll figure it out when it comes to it.

Now my indoor plants are also super cute. In this photo they're outside because it was quite cold in my office and I wanted to give them a bit of sun. But usually they're kept in a greenhouse from ikea in my office, or along my windowsill. My greenhouse plants are grown in mugs or cups and are super cute in a weird way. 
The little pots are the rosemary/ parsley gifts to be.
