Vanda Orchid
My First Orchid


Tuesday May 25, 2000.


Yesterday I planted the dill and coriander on the deck. There was too much dill. The container was loaded up with seedlings. I planted them in a large, old, galvanized metal tub Beate brought me last week. She found it in a garbage somewhere. I had a plan this year to make a kiddy pool into an herb garden on my deck. But we might move so I had to abandon the idea. But I think it's a good idea. It would be a really good idea for someone who wanted to grow invasive plants such as mint or catnip in large quantities. It is always recommended that you plant such plants in a pot and sink it into the soil in your garden. That way the plant is trapped in that area and can't take over. But I have never felt that a pot was big enough. I have a pot of mint on my deck just for easy access. I like mint a lot.
