One of the funniest stories I remember about my sisters revolves around fungus. Not fungus like mold or mildew, but mushrooms! First a little background, I have two sisters: one a few years older and one that's 12 years younger. I like to think that we influenced her a lot growing up. I also like to hope that she saw all our mistakes, took a mental note, and made sure she learned from our errors, so she wouldn't have to repeat them.

Looks like my thumb isn't so green afterall. Unless, of course, you count this strange green-ish tinged dirt as part of my thumb.

When normal people hear dill, they think about it with potatoes. Me? I think about cucumbers. It just so happens that dill pickles were my all time favorite snack when I was a kid. Strange kid, right? I guess the strange runs deep in our family, because both my older sister and my little sister love dill pickles too! We seriously go through those huge costco sized jars of pickles in a month or so. Probably not the best for our blood pressure, but better than ho-ho's and cupcakes, right? Anyway. Back to the herbs.

I've always been interested in gardening, but I've never really mustered up the guts to get out there and buy a plant. I guess I've always been a little nervous that my thumb will be more brown than green, and I'll destroy whatever poor plant I attempt to grow. Then one day, just about a month ago, as I was walking around the open market on Fort Street, I decided to just go for it. After a slew of questions (How much sun does it need? Will a balcony work? How often do I water it? Is it possible to over-water? How do I harvest them?) I bought a Basil and Italian Parsley plant. Amazingly, I not only kept them both alive, they were GROWING!
