My October herb garden

Every month I've tried to take photos of my herb garden and this month is no different.

Everything is looking really ragged now that October has arrived.

My volunteer tomatoes are ready to pick,

but the camomile never flowered.  I seem to have developed another pot of cilantro from the coriander seeds I threw in the pot last month.  It was enough for a wonderful three egg omelet.

I plan to remove my Mexican sage from the pot and plant it directly in the ground.  From what I have read, it will automatically die back after the first hard freeze, and pop up again next year, when it will flower in late summer or early autumn.  I just need to dig a hole for it.  The wind had taken its toll on it, anyway, so I need a more stable area for it to grow.

The basil is ready to harvest, because some of it has already gone to seed.  I'll remove the flower heads and save them to burn in my chiminea.  Basil smells so great when it's fresh, and also when it's burning in my chiminea.  Nothing goes to waste in this garden.

My blackberry vines are doing well and growing like a weed.  It's hard to remember how small that vine was when I first brought it home after Herb Day and

planted it in my spring garden.

Not everything was cut, but these were, and everything except much of the basil was used in my Mandala I shared on Monday.  How is your garden growing this time of year?
