No but like Mike must have begged Eddie multiple times for drugs to get him through high school. And Eddie, as much of a "bad guy" he is, knows not to sell to freshman. But Mike gives him his sad puppy dog look and Eddie gives in.
That night, Mike walks home from the woods with a snack bag of kitchen herbs

The Great Herb Debacle: Basil Blunders and Cilantro Catastrophes
Yo, plant peeps! Gather 'round the virtual campfire for Maya and Ben, your friendly neighborhood herb enthusiasts (or should I say "enthusiastic wannabe herb enthusiasts"), who are here to spill the tea (or should I say the pesto?) on their hilarious journey from seed packets to...well, something vaguely green that vaguely resembled a herb garden.
Tumblr media
It all started with a Pinterest-fueled dream of a windowsill bursting with fragrant basil, zesty cilantro, and peppery arugula. Armed with zero experience and an abundance of naivety, they dove headfirst into the world of urban gardening, convinced they were basically plant whisperers. Spoiler alert: they were not.
Their first epic fail involved treating all herbs like, well, herbs. Basil, a sun-worshipper, shivered under the shade of a dill monster who, in turn, stretched desperately for the nonexistent afternoon sun. Their windowsill resembled a botanical Hunger Games, with parsley clinging to life in the dill's shadow, almost all herb seeds, and the newly emerging seedlings drowning in Maya's overenthusiastic watering. Let's just say their first attempt at pesto involved mostly tears and existential dread.
Next came the "tough love" approach. Ben, determined to raise Spartan herbs, neglected his basil until it resembled a sun-scorched tumbleweed. Maya, meanwhile, went full-on helicopter parent with her mint, creating a fragrant, yet wildly invasive jungle that threatened to take over their entire apartment. (RIP, dreams of peaceful coexistence with their feline overlord.)
But amidst the crispy leaves and soggy soil, something magical happened. They started learning. They consulted seasoned gardeners, devoured online blogs, and even bribed their slightly bemused neighbor (Mrs. Henderson, the queen of green thumbs) with baked goods in exchange for wisdom. Slowly, their little herb jungle began to transform. Basil leaves unfurled with newfound vigor, oregano seedlings peeked through their damp soil, and cilantro sprouted with the enthusiasm of a toddler on a sugar rush.
Their journey wasn't exactly smooth sailing. They accidentally planted mint directly in the ground (cue world domination by the minty overlords), mistook thyme for rosemary (their pizza tasted...interesting), and learned the hard way that catnip is indeed catnip (goodbye, dreams of calming kitty cuddles).
But with each mishap, they laughed, learned, and most importantly, grew (both figuratively and literally). Their windowsill now boasts a thriving herb garden, a testament to their resilience and newfound knowledge. They may not have started with green thumbs, but through trial, error, and a whole lot of humor, they cultivated something far more valuable: a love for growing, a respect for nature's rhythm, and a kitchen cabinet bursting with the vibrant flavors of their own little urban oasis. And who knows, maybe next year they'll be brave enough to tackle Mrs. Henderson's infamous habanero peppers... but that, as they say, is a story for another post. ️
So, plant peeps, learn from our mistakes (and maybe a few of our successes)! Embrace the mess, cherish the mishaps, and most importantly, have fun on your own herb-tastic adventure! ✨

Herb Garden Goals: Snippin' Our Way to Flavortown
Our herb garden is EXPLODING! Basil leaves are practically begging to be pesto-fied, mint threatens world domination, and rosemary bushes reach for the sky like tiny green skyscrapers. But before we unleash the harvest fury, a question lingers: how do we snip these babies without sacrificing their flavor mojo?
Tumblr media
Fear not, fellow herbivores! We've been on a quest for cutting wisdom, and let me tell you, the results are delicious. From ancient lore to modern chefs, we've gathered a treasure trove of techniques to unlock the full potential of our leafy friends.
Snippin' Savvy:
Mornings are magic: Harvest right after the dew dries, when essential oils (aka flavor champions) are at their peak.
Sharpness is key: Dull shears = bruised herbs = sad taste. Invest in good pruners or scissors, your tastebuds will thank you.
Less is more: Don't go crazy! Pinch off just the top leaves/stems to encourage growth and avoid plant stress. Annuals can handle more aggressive cuts, perennials need a gentle touch.
Stem secrets: For basil & mint, cut just above a leaf node for bushier growth. Boom!
Flavor-Preserving Hacks:
Water bouquet: Cilantro, parsley, dill? Stand them upright in a glass of water like a mini bouquet. Freshness for days!
Fridge finesse: Wrap leafy herbs like basil & mint in a damp paper towel and store them in the crisper drawer. Happy herbs for a week or so.
Oil magic: Rosemary & thyme love an oil bath! Infuse them in olive oil for a flavorful condiment and longer preservation.
Drying delight: Air-drying is a classic. Tie herb bundles and hang them in a cool, dark, airy spot. Flavor magic happens!
Bonus: Don't forget the edible flowers! Lavender, chamomile, and more add beauty and flavor to dishes and teas.
So grab your shears, embrace the snip, and turn your herb garden into a flavor fiesta! With these tips and a little practice, you'll be snippin' your way to herbivore heaven in no time. Now, who's ready for some pesto-making adventures?
