After a years worth of posts (365) it's a good time to look back over and see what is still working. We may have some gaps in the herb garden, but here are a few herbs which have made it not only through the brutal summer, but are thriving in the unusual not-so-wintery weather.
Oregano -- It's making a beautiful carpet near the front door and has always been plentiful enough to use whatever is necessary for cooking. We've even had to toss some of the trimmings when it was just too much.
Lemon Thyme -- We thought it was a goner, but it is making a comeback. Only a few months ago it was down to about 2 stems and a few dozen leaves. Excellent in cookies.
Rosemary -- This is only one of our three bushes. While the other two are upright, they are all as glossy and healty as this guy. Always a pleasant smell as guests arrive and rub against it on the way in.
Cilantro -- This annual is only looking bigger and prettier in the middle of February. A self seeder, it's come back for a few years now and just in time to miss tomato season. May have to dry a good bit of this for tomato sauce come summer.
love the herb garden. I also have a herb garden but since it is still winter her it isnt growing yet. I do have a garden window in my house with oregano and basil growing though. Deb
