The weather broke in Charlotte. Not that we’ve had weather anything LIKE the rest of the country. During the winters here, the weather “breaks” every 24 to 48 hours, leaving us never too weary of “winter.”

But it was chilly. I know I did a run or two when the temps were in the teens, and, frankly? That was cold.

But now, there’s that soft air everywhere. And what did I see when I pulled up to the farmers’ market today? Herbs.

And since my window box, the only garden I get in this apartment, got pushed to the side and relatively forgotten (hm. Not relatively. Let’s just go with forgotten.), I knew what I had to do.

I bought chives, oregano, dill, basil, thyme, rosemary and mint.

It’s a good start.
