I’m living with my parent’s right now and I have a little herb and herbal tea garden in some pots at the back.

I never used to have any interest in gardening growing up, my mum even used to own a nursery and I’d howl like a banshee whenever she asked me to help out. I’ve changed it started with a simple basil plant and now it’s well it’s this.

The hibiscus I’m growing from a branch cutting and you can see 2 leaves growing out of the branch now.

I use the herbs fresh in cooking and teas and air dry the surplus for later.

As well as growing the plants I’m experimenting with propagation from cuttings. So far I’ve succesfully grown a mint plant and now I’m trying Lemon Balm, Ginger and more Mint. It’s easy all you need to do is put the cuttings in water and watch it grow.

Check out the mint plant. Looking good!

The herbs have been fun but now I’m itching to try something more so I started these Tomato plants from seed 2 weeks ago and I can’t wait to plant them and see them grow!
