Marston House
The historical house and grounds were special by virtue of being accessible to the public and their location.

Garden
An impromptu walk took me to the Marston House Museum and Garden at the north-west corner of Balboa Park one late afternoon.

Mason Jar Herb Garden - Update 3
Re-purposing kimchi jars for more decorative purposes, herb containers.
This project will take a while, at least a month. Check back weekly or so to see their progress.
Step 1: I filled the jars with small stones to help water drainage.
Step 2: I filled the jars with fast draining potting soil to the top curves of the jars.
Step 3: I chose basil, cilantro and mint as the herbs to plant from seeds. Apparently, planting mint from seeds is not recommended, but we will see. I seeded the jars per planting instruction of each type of seed and moistened the soil, with water, just enough to have three dark spots.
Step 4: Lastly, I labeled my jars.
Update 1: It has been barely 4 days, but the basil is sprouting.
Update 2: I was worrying about the mints for nothing. These are peppermints. It has been a week and they sprouted.
Update 3: The cilantro have also sprouted. I will make another update when the herbs grow bushy. Cheers!
