Herb Hair Cut Day

 

 Let's head to the herb "garden" for an early September update.

It's time to once again trim my herbs. My cilantro is not doing well (the pot with the red label).  Others are (from left) sage, oregano, a weed, and more oregano.

Again, a weed has grown where Thai basil should have, cantaloupe, more oregano, and the last of my dead mint.  I lost three different mints this year.   You can see how the tree that sits near the fence has started to lose its leaves.

Variegated sage and a flowering plant the birds gave me is on the stool.  Large pot had sunflowers until either the bunnies or the squirrels decided they wanted them instead.

My lambs ear is dying back, but from what I've read, it will return next spring.  I need to get rid of the dead leaves today.  My goal is to eventually plant it in the front flower bed.  

I bought the licorice plant because it looked healthy.  Now it is out of control and I don't even know how to harvest it!

Behind the little cart is the tarragon, which is doing OK.

Variegated oregano and lavender live in the little cart.

More cantaloupe, my overgrown basil, dill that has gone to seed, and in the back is my catnip that neither cat likes.

On my table are lemongrass, cilantro and dill.

The metal roll around cart holds fennel, dill, and more dill, in addition to an airplane/spider plant.

My rosemary is showing definite signs of age.

My basil is cut and ready for storage.

Thanks for dropping by today.  I'm thrilled you took time to visit my messy herb garden that hopefully replaces the bamboo I'm still trying to kill.  Bleubeard is glad he didn't have to help because he doesn't like to get his paws dirty.
