Herb Garden update

 

I thought it was time to update my herb garden.  I like to do this at least twice a month.

The rain has finally stopped, so I went outside to assess the damage.  Looks like the wind has taken its toll on at least one herb marker. 

I planted the new herbs I purchased last week.  I get the feeling most of these herbs are for the butterflies, not my culinary pleasure. 

Surprisingly, my lavender seems to be doing well, as does my new rosemary I purchased. 

I originally purchased these two high end (and high priced) tarps five years ago in an effort to get rid of the bamboo I planted that eventually took over my back yard.  I believe the bamboo may be gone, but it appears my late summer sunflowers have encroached and now found a way through this tarp.

 

My dill seems to be doing well.  I start all my dill from seed.  The rosemary is from my recent purchase.

In the large pot in the back is my new thyme plant.  I've been told it will overwinter outside and return in spring.  To the right of my rosemary is my new oregano plant.

 

I couldn't get a good photo of my comfrey because it was so windy.  I think I bought it for the birds and butterflies.

I bought a new bee balm plant this year, not realizing this one overwintered outside and came back to life stronger than ever.

Here's another new rosemary plant.  Seems my chives didn't make it, though.

New lavender on the left, milk weed next to it, and marjoram and more dill in the cart.

My Genovese basil is growing by leaps and bounds.

My sweet basil, in the other large white container, isn't doing so well.  My peppermint is also thriving after spending the winter inside.

My airplane or spider plant will soon put out new babies.

I love cilantro and have two pots of it.  My fennel, on the other hand, seems to have died.

One of the very expensive sage plants I purchased on Herb Day.  The other one died.

And finally, another pot of dill.

Thanks for your visit.  I am delighted you stopped by.
