Day 9 (December 27, 2012)

I went away for a few days for Christmas. I returned to the herbs falling over. The rosemary is trying to reach the window for more sun, so I guess it is doing well. I need to move it closer to the window...if the cat will allow it. But the parsley and basil are just keeling over. I am making sure they are kept watered and misted, but I just don't know....As long as they last until Monday, I'll be able to use them for homemade spaghetti sauce.

The water the celery root end was in had turned murky, so I changed the water. Big mistake, I guess, because the whole celery root end fell apart. I wonder if it just doesn't like artificial heat. The one I did last spring did better for longer.

The garlic, though...I have kept it at 60 degrees. Despite what I found online that garlic needs to be kept at 40 degrees for 2 months in order for it to sprout, I have one shoot starting. It has been just a few days. Exciting!
