I’ve been working in the herb garden this Spring. I want to renovate the northwest arm of the raised beds, and I need Dear Husband’s help to get new chat down in the walkways.
I was a sloth Memorial Day morning. I was sitting in my chair in the kitchen, reading, when Dear Husband walked in. Usually I don’t see him until late in the afternoon, and it was 11:00 a.m. Apparently, with the front coming through, he had endured a difficult night on the boat in the harbor, and felt enough was enough. I gave him some tomato soup and a grilled cheese sandwich, and let him get his land legs back a bit.
After lunch, I headed out to get my gardening done. I watered, and then started working on the east walkway, trying to remove weeds, and getting lambs ears ready to transplant. Wouldn’t you know it….as soon as I started working on the weeds it started to rain.
This is as far as I got:
Everything looks robust. I could start harvesting oregano next week, and I’ll give the chives a crew cut and let them grow back. I can only hope that the bunnies decide that something other than my parsley tastes good!
Arrrgh!!!
It's just my state of mind!
I’m sssoooooo envious! Your gardens are beautiful!!
Oh, how lovely your herb garden looks, Buffy. Well done, well done!
Ladies, your comments do my heart good!
The herb garden looks a rather voluptuous, zoftig….er….well developed! lol It will need harvesting earlier in the year than usual, and I still have basil and the lemon verbena to plant. It’s lovely to be out early while it is still cool, working in the gardens.
Your herb gardens are so beautiful, lush and bountiful – I am in awe!
Bogie, you humble me. I’ve seen pictures of your gardens, and have read of the selections and varieties you have planted. You have truly amazing gardens, and I consider myself fortunate to be able to chat about gardens with you.
The picture I posted of half the herb garden is unusual, in that this year EVERYTHING is lush and well ahead of itself. I consider myself very fortunate to have so much growing and doing so well following a really harsh winter.
Thank you for today’s smiles. 🙂
