I did my first “official” harvest of everything except the tomatoes, green peppers, melon, eggplant and cukes. Fuggetaboutit, they are going to be a while yet. I noticed that what I did pick was very dirty and needed to be rinsed like 10 times. I kept wondering where the dirt was coming from. At least everything is organic! Below are pics of the goodies:
Basil & Curly Parsley
Mexican Coriander & Chives – both were VERY tasty!!
Sage – drying out to make smudge sticks and just to use for cooking (the texture reminds me of the skin of those bright green lizards I used to catch in Hawaii)
Spearmint & Asian Coriander (one of the herbs you’d see on your plate if you ordered Pho)
Rosemary – smells great! Willow already was trying to eat it!
I was also pondering all the rain we’ve been having the last month or so and thought what if Mother Nature is trying to stimulate more growth to counteract all the pollution and global warming issues? Like, trying to heal herself. Or trying to replenish or filter the diminishing water supply. Alternatively, I guess She could be trying to drown us….
Wow, everything is really looking good. You have a green thumb. Just like your grandmother floy Hanna. I’d like some of those veggies. Did you get some of those asian starts from your family in hawaii or Vietnam?
You are a wonder, girl.
Love you
