Window Garden

The newest living additions to the apartment are our cute lil plants! They've been around for awhile now, but this is their online debut, ta-da. We're growing chamomile, basil, and mint, but the more engaging specimens are our bonsai. Since this is a new hobby, the plan is to keep the trees alive before shaping and sculpting -- so far so good. Mine is even sprouting new leaves, after some conservative pruning that I've been doing over the past couple of weeks. Incidentally John is the unofficial pest control dude. Blah blah blah check out the pics.

Basil!

Mint!
