Planting Herbs Despite April's Winter Snow Day

In my new pursuit of meal planning for the week, I'm hitting up Key Foods more often (thought I love Hannaford on Rt. 9 the most for the low prices and great shopping experience), accenting with a little Beacon Pantry or the Beacon Natural Market when I need special things. Today at Key Food, a fresh delivery of bright tulips and herbs had arrived! Normally I get herbs from Adams or Sunny Gardens, but ran out if time last weekend. And at $2.99 for each potted herb, and $5.99 for tulips, I could not resist! I snagged the tulips for a baby present and a housewarming gift, and picked up a planted basil, cilantro, parsley and dill. My only hope is that I can grow these herbs inside. I'll move them out to that empty, official herb garden plot that you see here in the back of this picture.

Spring or bust!
