Herb update 12/5/25

My goodness but they’ve grown.

Yesterday I repotted all of the seedlings into smaller, more manageable containers. They’re mostly small terra cotta pots, and, for the moment, are sitting in the small tub that came as part of the seed starting set. I was able to move the lights as I needed, and, as of this morning, they look “happier”.

What does a happier looking plant look like you ask?
Each of them has a tiny smile on its face.

I had to do it. Even if you didn’t need the chuckle, I did.

Let me show you how they’ve grown in however many weeks it’s been. (I can’t remember when I started all of this, and don’t really care. I’m just so proud that I haven’t drowned any of them).

That tiny little beauty in the middle of the front row is my only sage seedling that actually sprouted. I have enough basil for an entire Italian neighborhood! And am anxious to get to using some. If the cilantro survives it will be the biggest miracle to date. For some reason, it’s difficult for me to grow cilantro, well, herbs in general. That’s why I buy it from the grocery stores, from those who know what they’re doing.

As you can see, basil, oh and 1 tiny thyme plant. So, sage, and thyme will have to be babied until they are well established. Or, I can try starting more of each.

That’s all I have to impart for today. I got up at 5:30 this morning, and my cup of coffee is lulling me to sleep. What’s up with that?

Until next time my lovelies, stay happy, and healthy in the Lord, and have a safe, and happy new year.

Post script: a very happy birthday to my brother in law Larry. Praying you have a great year!
