Plants of the season

In September of last year I planted some basil and parsley and in December I planted some bell peppers. I wanted to plant something that could with stand the cold and could be in doors.  My grandmother bought the bell pepper seeds and it came with the pot and dirt. I used an old cup to plant the basil and a old flower pot for the parsley. Now its time to replant the bell peppers and the parsley. The great thing about this adventure of gardening is that I'm doing this all by trial and error. Ever thing I know I researched to find out.

I have 1 parsley and basil plant,and 3 bell pepper plants. The basil and parsley smell so amazing :) I cut all the parsley that was growing and placed it in a jar with water in the refrigerator. 2 days later more was growing and is almost time to trim again. I still haven't found a way to keep the basil and parsley upright but I'm working on it.

Last week I did it....I transplanted the parsley and bell peppers. I underestimated how much dirt I needed so I have to go and buy some more before I can do the same for the basil and other bell pepper plant. I also have to buy another 5 gallon pot. I'm thinking of picking up some strawberry seeds while I'm at at it.
