Learning Curve with Gardening

A friend of mine gave me some mint when I bought some eggs from her. We wanted some extra fertilized eggs when we ran our first batch of baby chicks. I learned I could root it and create more plants. I am so excited to figure out this process.
I have some basil, thyme and oregano inside. I have cilantro and rosemary outside. I am hoping to see if I can do the same. So far the basil is working great and I have started some new ones. I am learning about freezing and drying them too to start processing my own herbs instead of buying them.
The basil did amazing, look at these roots. Now I need pots and soil. That is on my to do list this week.
This is the first real radish harvest this weekend. I truly love radishes. I learned they are really good for you too. The rabbits love their green tops. I went ahead and picked some of the smaller ones and planted some new seeds. They will grow here pretty much through late summer, sometimes straight into the fall.
