Guess who's back in the blog-o-sphere. That's right. I may not be posting quite as often as I used to, but I've been having so many great YBG ideas pop into my head as of late, I just had to share.
The straw that broke the camel's back in this situation was the herb and vegetable garden we planted at our new place in the Outer Sunset a few weekends ago. As we were standing in Sloat Gardens, looking at a 3' tall basil plant, I finally got around to looking at the price...$5.99! Organic basil is $3.50 for 4 ounces at my neighborhood Safeway. It was a no-brainer. I can grow my own herbs for waaaay cheaper than I could buy them in the store...that is, if I can keep them alive.
We also planted some thyme, sage, and oregano, as well as broccoli, brussell sprouts, and peas. We were assured that all of these baby plants would grow and thrive in the foggy, cool climate known as the Outer Sunset of San Francisco (though I'll admit that I'm not yet convinced).
I'll keep you posted about the success of our little plot as time goes on, and as soon as I'm home and in the garden when it isn't dark and/or raining, I'll take some pictures.
Go Giants!
