Clean up, row 3

 

I've been cleaning my herbs and removing weeds and even  a small tree from one plant.

It took most of the day, but I have finally cleaned all the weeds from my herbs.  I have lots of dill.  I planted five pots with dill thinking the monarch caterpillars would munch their way through at least four of them.  I haven't seen a single caterpillar, which is disturbing.

 

Sage I purchased on Herb Day.

More dill planted from seed.

Cilantro, another favorite.  Some have started to flower.  Fennel seeds in small pot aren't doing well.

Cilantro I've been picking to enhance my dreary meals.

 

  This and

 

  this are what it looked like before I started.

Lavender I bought on Herb Day.  Note the dark brown pot.

Rosemary I purchased on Herb Day.  I'm not sure what plant is in the white pot.

Sad dill.

This is yarrow, also purchased on Herb Day.  Looks like I didn't get rid of all the weeds in this pot. The plant in the pot on the right died.  It was marjoram purchased after Herb Day.

This is spearmint overwintered in the house.

This is my new thyme I bought after Herb Day.

This lavender was purchased after Herb Day.  It is a different variety than the other I bought.

My oregano was also purchased after Herb Day.

More rosemary purchased on Herb Day.  The white pot on the right held chives that didn't overwinter well inside.

These chives overwintered inside and may make it.  The plant in the center is Russian sage purchased on Herb Day.

More lavender from Herb Day and milk weed planted from seed and overwintered outside last year.

My spider plant (or airplane plant) that has overwintered inside three years is doing well.  Genovese basil (on left) is ready for harvest.  Sweet basil (on right) isn't doing as well.  Both planted from seeds.

More dill and a plant even Pl@ntnet can't identify.

Can you?  I think it's a weed.  It's definitely NOT oregano.

This is peppermint.

Another milkweed.  Behind it are the remains of an $8.00 bee balm I bought on Herb Day a squirrel took a liking to.

My comfrey is doing better after the beating it took during a recent storm.  I hope for more flowers soon.

Had I known my bee balm would overwinter outside and come back looking so good, I would never have purchased a new one for squirrel food!

Thank you for sticking with me through this.  I will be by to visit as soon as I have a bite to eat.  Yes, I have been at this since I took the photos.  I am about to collapse, but I must visit everyone before I sleep.  I am grateful for your visit.
