Visitors!

My brother was in town and for him that means a 2 day plane ride from Australia! His kids live considerably closer so we all got together for dinner. I also provided them with a tour of the Minnesota Grow Center. My how they have grown up nicely and now with growing families of their own.
Speaking of growing, my herbs have been transplanted to bigger pots and I'm harvesting some of them now. I've trimmed basil and cilantro for salads. Fresh herbs are really good this time of year. Tonight and tomorrow we are supposed to get about a foot of snow.

Herbs that need transplanting

Some Basil and Dill

Once your seedlings are in the larger packs you can put them under the long fluorescent lights. Make sure that you keep the light as close as possible to the plants or they can grow spindly.
