Herbs for days.....

amazing how fast our garden has come to life!!! after what seemed like days and days of rain we were back at it this weekend! it always makes us happy to dig in the dirt. after a visit to our gurus - The Herb Pharmacy - we added to our herb box - curry, licorice, sweet annie,(natch ), lime basil, standard issue basil, chocolate mint to go with our orange and spearmint. our mint is planted in their own clay pits, to avoid spreading. I am thrilled with the beauty of my herbs this year - Annie and I are working on the perfect garden markers! Hello Pinterest?!! We lost one of our cucumber plants so that got replaced. Bil planted an array of beautiful carrots - eggplant and some more marigolds to keep the bugs at bay. We picked chard and kale and a beautiful bounty of strawberries which may or may not have found themselves on top of an angel food cake. I'll never tell wink wink. the oregano got a much needed haircut which I happily shared with a friend. the garden days are happy ones - I can almost taste the tomato sandwiches.
