What plants do I have? (pics provided)?

Filed under :Herb Garden

This last spring I decided to venture into growing herbs from seeds. I planted about 20 different types, and I accidentally mislabeled almost all of them. Most of the culinary ones I recognized as soon as they started to grow and I used the internet to identify the rest but there is one that I couldn’t figure out.
I originally thought this was Yellow Yarrow, but upon seeing photos online, I don’t think it is. Here are two pictures of the plant. I think that it may be Garden Sorrel but it looks more like Japanese Eggplant but I’m not sure:

Vegan growing organic food?

Filed under :Herb Garden

Hi, I’m a vegan and would like to introduce myself to sustainable organic gardening to save money on expensive organic food. At the moment, I do not live in an area that will allow me to actually start a garden, but I would still like to learn about organic gardening and possibly start growing herbs and small vegetables in my apartment.

If anyone could recommend to me some solid websites and books, I would much appreciate it. Thanks.
