Herb Step Garden

Herbs - take 10

I've been trying to grow herbs

since 2009

Then again in 2010

&

once again in 2011

So, this time, I'm going all out

I have the standard herbs

rosemary, lavender, oregano, thyme,

basil, sage, dill, parsley

I also got a lemon tree...

(isn't that baby lemon adorable?)

and...

...creeping spinach

(please, no comments about the dead eucalyptus plant)

Also, you may have noticed my fancy herb markers

Got this idea from Pinterest

I just bought cheap knives at the thrift store

some acrylic paints

and

a silver sharpie

but I found that it works better with

a black archival pen

I Never Promised You a Herb Garden

Almost a year ago, in June as a matter of fact, I started a herb garden

This is what has survived

Sage and Chives

Not bad for my first attempt

In May, I plan to start fresh

Herbal Experiment - Day 93

Basil as of  October 7th. It's doing ok, but I've had to baby it alot.

This picture was taken on Sept 30th.

Sage and chives are doing FANTASTIC.   Basil is limping along. I think I am salvaging the big pot, but the small pot from seeds that was doing so well - see the last posting on August 28 - isn't doing so great.
