Herbs!

The time has come to try growing a herb garden on the boat. I bought some of the more hardy herbs today, parsley, basil, dill and mint. Will nurse these for a month before I try others.

Also, did you know....

Captain James Cook had his sailors eat sprouts, limes and lemons for their Vitamin C content to aid in curing scurvy. So if it is good enough for them, it is good enough for us!

Am dashing out to buy some mung beans to sprout as soon as I finish my margarita!

Mung bean sprouts are easy to grow, supposedly, we don't need anything special...seeds, fresh water and a jar with drainage holes drilled into the lid. Let's see if that does the job.
