Plants: Succulent, Cilantro, and a Cactus

Plant update:  4 surviving, 2 dying.

The shiso plant I bought earlier is dying of consumption by caterpillars, and the chives plant is dying of unknown causes.  They do not look like they are going to be able to make the trip to college with me.

In order to give my remaining succulent some company, I bought another succulent, cilantro, and a cactus with one of my many Target Gift Cards.  I'll have to see how they fare.  However, I hear that succulents and cacti are extremely hard to kill.  I just hope that the cilantro lasts long enough for me to eat with some instant ramen noodles!

Plants: Shiso, Chives, and Another

Today I bought a couple of plants as the very beginning of my new herb garden! Two of these plants are cooking herbs that I am familiar with, and one is a completely random plant that I do not know the name of. Up top we have chives.

Next is shiso, a leaf commonly used in Japanese cooking. Now that I have a shiso plant, I plan to do a lot more cooking with it.

The name of the third plant I bought is unknown. I suppose I just bought it because it looked interesting. My current plan is to bring these plants to school in the fall to both brighten up my room and to add spice and flavor to dorm-cooked meals!
