I recently saw a cilantro plant for sale at the grocery store and just had to bring it home. My kitchen counter was getting too crowded so I figured it was time to plant the herbs. So, what was the complex process for starting my "herb garden"? I dug a hole, planted the herbs, and gave them a little water. After 2 days, they look quite well. I'll post another picture after they've either flourished or died.]]> http://www.vegangirl.com/herb-gardening-for-the-lazy-and-impatient.html/feed 1 http://www.vegangirl.com/pickaxing-the-weeds.html http://www.vegangirl.com/pickaxing-the-weeds.html#comments Fri, 11 Apr 2008 15:31:28 +0000 vegangirl http://www.vegangirl.com/pickaxing-the-weeds.html It's been almost 3 months since I covered up my new garden area with black plastic in order to kill the weeds and lawn underneath. Amazingly, some of the plants are still alive under there, so I've decided to move the process along by breaking up the dirt with a pickax and pulling out the weeds. In retrospect, maybe I should have hacked up the yard first to cut the plants from their roots. Pickaxing the ground is a lot of hard work, so I will be doing a small area at a time over the next couple of weeks. Once an area of dirt is broken up, it's very easy to pull the weeds out from the roots. You can also run your hands or a rake through the dirt and find a lot of stray roots that way. When I'm done for the day, I am going to cover the dirt back up to keep killing off any plants that may still have roots down there. I want to reiterate that I am not an experienced gardener. I am figuring things out as I go based on what I remember from years ago, what I learn from friends, and what I find on the internet. Any advice is welcomed.]]> http://www.vegangirl.com/pickaxing-the-weeds.html/feed 1
