Elephant in the Room...

Jeremy and I participated in two white elephant gift exchanges this past weekend!! We traded a Bible Trivia game from the 1970s (which my sister picked up at a thrift store for us - I completely forgot about grabbing something from our Goodwill donations for the event) for a porcelain like bell with a cardinal as the handle. The next night we traded in our bell for a Chia Herb Garden!

Excuse me, I mean a Gourmet Chia Herb Garden.

Well, the good news is that someones misfortune in owning it became our indoor gardening activity this week! So thank you to whom ever it was that doesn't like Chia Herb Gardens...

The best part about this type of gardening is that it really isn't very messy! The dirt comes in a weird sponge-like pod that goes right into the pot once soaked in water. Looks like dirt, smells like dirt, but it certainly isn't as dirty as dirt!


Next the seeds...they give you six different herbs to choose from. We selected dill, parsley, sweet basil, and chives.



A little water for the seeds...


And a little water for this seed...


Mmmm...I was thirsty!




We put some baggies on the top for that "greenhouse-like" affect...


So, hopefully in a few weeks we will have some delicious herbs...I will keep you posted!
