I've wanted to do a little herb garden on my fire escape for a few years but always felt kind of nervous about it. Finally decided to go for it over a month ago, and they've been growing well!! Parsley is on the left, and basil is on the right; I buy both very often. The soil was given to me by a friend who's into gardening, and I already had both of the small planters stored away. They're tucked inside a bigger planter that was left behind by the previous tenant -- the plants are so lightweight and I was worried they'd get knocked over during a storm if I left them standing on their own.
It's been really nice to watch them grow, and now that I'm feeling more confident, I might branch out and try some other things. And if anyone has some good gardening advice, I'm very happy to listen! #finance source
