Remembering Parsil

Do you remember Parsil?  My parsley/basil plant from only 2.5 weeks ago?  Well, he's been sitting next to my kitchen sink and window, the best place to get some sun as well as making sure he's get watered often enough.

Yeah, well, still no luck.  I swear to you I can manage to kill the lowest maintenance plant if you were to give it to me.  I never even got to use any of the leaves for cooking.  :(

Parsil Before....Parsil After (2.5 weeks later)

Green Thumb?

No, I do not have a green thumb.  I managed to finally kill an ivy-type plant that I've had ever since I got married (2005) about a month ago.  That was my longest plant-commitment!

I'm making the plunge again though.  We are having a field day of sorts here at work and they have a Gardening station.  Your choice of four herbs to pot and take home: Mint, Rosemary, Parsley and Basil.  I use the last two herbs the most in my cooking at home.  And I actually recently had used up the last of all my parsley!

So here is my new plant.  I shall call him/her/it "Parsil".  :)

Parsley + Basil = Parsil

On a side note, I'm here inside working while everyone else is outside playing.  And that is definitely my choice.  I went out there for five minutes to do this and came back inside real quick.  It's just too cold out at the moment.  (Is 55 degrees cold??)

I will however go back outside for the FREE LUNCH!!  Heck yeah!
