On another garden note, I broke down and bought a hanging basket of petunias. I was longing for them. Yes, really, longing. A little touch of home on the road.

Garden Tuesday
Playing in the garden...
These guys don't seem to have much fear of people. The first day we set up here, there was a large bunny nosing around these bushes, and I do mean large. He looked like a cottontail, but big, with one ear that hung down. Possibly someone's pet. I was hoping he would be an everyday visitor, but so far...nope.

I was looking for the light purple, Sugar Daddy I think they call them. But no. This was the only pretty good looking pot of petunias in the little Wally World here in Livingston. They're not perfect, but with a little TLC they should be gorgeous. They already smell great. And, speaking of smelling great, we got a sweet basil & a thai basil plant yesterday too. Probably should have bought a cilantro plant too since we use it on everything. Anyone have any tips on how to keep cilantro for more than a day or two in the fridge?

Love the petunia! I prefer the dark purple ones myself.
ReplyDeleteI put cilantro, stems down, in a small jar with an inch or two of water in it, then set the whole thing in the fridge.
So we both have critters around this week! I keep meaning to plant herbs in windowsill pots, but always say, "I'll do it tomorrow."
ReplyDeleteThe petunias do add a cheery touch. I wrap cilantro in a paper towel and store it in in a ziplock bag. I don't know if it makes it keep longer, but when it rots and turns liquid, it doesn't get all over my veggie drawer :)
ReplyDeleteTry keeping cilantro like cut flowers in a quart jar with a couple of inches of water in the bottom. Cut the stems so the cap can be screwed on. It should last a while.
ReplyDeletePretty petunias!! They are such happy flowers to have around.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty flowers. I have pansies hanging around my porch...but you knew that, didn't you? :)
ReplyDeleteAs I write, that mama bird is peering out at me from the remains of the pot I can't water. The baby birds should be here soon!
