Gardening in the Basement

We were on one of our many family shopping trips to Target (you gotta love that store) and while perusing through the "dollar bin" items, I spotted some tiny pots with herb seeds and soil. They're usually there, but since spring is right around the corner, I thought it might be fun to try growing something. So, we bought one of each to try and they are currently sitting on our kitchen windowsill.

There's basil, parsely, cilantro, and chives. The chives didn't come in a terra cotta pot.

We live in Kevin's parents' basement apartment, so natural light is a little hard to come by. Luckily, the fence around our yard is white vinyl and reflects sunlight down the window-well pretty good. Hopefully it's enough. When they start to grow, we'll transplant them in these pots we also found in the dollar bins.
