  • I have a lot of sage growing hard and fast so I’m going to have to harvest some this weekend to prevent the plants from collapsing.

    Now I’m regretting not planting tomatoes, would have made a nice soup with the sage.

    Recipe ideas with sage anyone? 😅


    In other news: I introduced a beetle into my terrarium that I thought would help eat the little flies that got in there. Turns out my research was wrong and the beetle is a herbivore that’s eating the plants in my terrarium… Whoops. I haven’t seen it since I put it in there, but I have seen leaves getting slowly chomped up and a lot of tiny poops on the plants and glass.

    Fortunately it seems to dislike everything that’s not a fern, so I’m expecting everything to work out. Or maybe the beetle will show up and I’ll take it out again. At least it’s been interesting 😂













  • Not entirely sure yet. I’m going to go for some things I tend to wish I had fresh when I’m buying them for cooking, like thyme and sage. Maybe oregano and basil too but I think I might use too much of that to grow it myself. My balcony can only hold so many plants 😅

    Herbs for teas are a great use. Do you have suggestions? My cousin gave me some homegrown lemon verbeina a couple years back and I loved that so maybe I should try growing some of my own.
