What's Growing??

So I bought some potted rosemary and parsley some time back. I was inspired by Michael Chiarello on the Food Network. He always has fresh herbs growing in his back yard! Wow how fabulous right? I had visions of barefoot me cooking pasta and nonchalently plucking fresh parsley from my little herb plants.

OK that was 2 months back. Fast forward to today. The rosemary is dead and the parsley is yellow. It's a wonder Moxie is still alive eh? HEEHEE But guess what the most disgusting thing is!! Today I actually found something growing in our pot of dead Rosemary.

A freaking MUSHROOM!!! OMG it thrives!!

Eeeks!

Oh and for dramatic effect, here's the herbs looked when I first got em. I'm a plant murderer :(

hey, at least you've got some stuff that grows. I've got brown fingers. Every living plant that comes to my being turns brown --

Indoor green leaves plant. Brown.
Ginger plant. Brown.
Christmas Poinsettas. Brown.

And get this, I even killed my mini cactus.

I think mushroom tastier than rosemary and parsley what. Now you just have to replicate that another 50 times so you have enough of those tiny mushrooms for a dish. hehe

btw I'm never had much of an affinity with plants so I never bothered to try keeping one. Think I'll proly kill it too if I did.
