My Herb Garden

 

It may be hard to see my herbs because there is so much "background" noise.  There are tress in the background, as well as my neighbor's yard.  Add to that, the tarps I purchased six years ago are finally deteriorating to the point where grass is starting to poke through. 

These are my two pots of lavender.  I keep them separate because they don't need as much water as the rest of the herbs.  I have another pot of lavender in my main floor bath, but I think I've killed it already.  Contrary to what I had been told, they do need water every so often.
 
Oregano is in the blue pot and also in the terra cotta pot.  Lemon grass, which cost nearly $15.00 (USD) is in the white pot.
 
Behind them is tarragon which overwintered outdoors.  It seems to be getting little white flowers on it this year.
 
I'll need to get closer to see what is in the black pot.
 
I'm quite confident
 
 
the two white pots contain rosemary.
 
My chives are starting to get bulbs on them.  They are really starting to look like they are going to live after overwintering inside.
 
I believe that is rosemary behind the chives.  The comfry in the large white pot, which overwintered indoors, is looking good.
 
The bee balm, which is also known as bergamot, overwintered outside in this pot that has seen better days.
 
I have two new sage plants and one that overwintered inside.  I'm sure you can tell the new ones (grin).
 
It appears my peppermint didn't make it.
 
The milkweed I planted from seed is doing well.
I'm a little over half way through these herbs, so I will save the rest for next time.
 
 Thanks for dropping by today.  I am very grateful.  Unfortunately, Bleubeard and Squiggles want no part in gardening.
