Herb Garden 2013

It appears that Spring is finally here to stay...I am testing that theory...I turned off the heat in my house today.  I have had the thermostat set for 64 for for a couple of weeks...it actually kicked on a week ago Friday because Spring had gone on hiatus for 48 hours or so.  I actually flipped the switch to OFF today.  Fingers crossed that I don't need to turn it back on until at least October.

I planted the bulk of my humble little herb garden today.  New plants always hold so much promise.

Greek Oregano

Chives in bloom

Crooked Rosemary

French Tarragon

 Lavender

Sage

 Flat Leaf Parsley

 Curly Parsley

 Creeping Thyme

Sweet Basil 

 TriColor Sage

 Cilantro

We'll see how things go with the cilantro...the beagle overturned the pot and it was pretty scrawny to begin with.

One thing I did this year is my cilantro and sweet basil are out of direct sunlight which is difficult on a deck that faces South.  Last year they fried before I had a chance to use them.
