Who says you can’t garden in a high rise smack in the middle of winter?! While many took to baking sourdough or gardening with their spare time, I too, decided to start an herb garden way up here on the 20-something floor. I’ve got my planters, two bags of soil, some seeds and my two bare hands ready to work. I mean, how hard can this be? You pour in the soil, dig a hole for the seeds, cover it up, water it and let mother nature do the rest. 

While there were mixed reviews online about actually having the herbs grow, I’m going to be optimistic about it and plant a few of my favorite herbs: chives, cilantro and basil. In a couple of weeks, I should be plucking the “fruits” of my labor… or heading to the nearest Trader Joe’s for Plan B, which is buying a basil plant and some organic chives. But let’s not go there just yet, I’m confident that something will come of it.
