Green Thumb? Let's Hope!

So, I'm trying my hand at making things grow!  All I want are some simple treasures for my kitchen...Cilantro (for chicken, pork, fish, mmmm), Basil (spaghetti sauce!) and Mint (for a yummy "Nojito").  Is that too much to ask?

We're on day two, and no signs of life just yet.  Birds have been visiting my porch.  Hopefully there are still some seeds left in my little containers!

Yummy "Nojito" recipe.  Thanks to Gina at Skinny Taste
