More early August herbs

 

Continuing to share how much my herbs have grown in early August, I'll begin with my chives that overwintered indoors.
 
Behind the chives is one of four pots of rosemary I purchased this year.
 
Although it's a bit hard to see, the large white pot behind the rosemary is my comfrey.  It seems I'm growing it wrong, so I hope to make some changes in the next two weeks.
 
Here's another pot of rosemary.
 
 
Hidden behind the rosemary is a pot of tarragon.
 
More rosemary in front, lemon thyme in the black pot, and English thyme in the beige pot that overwintered outside.
 
Two pots of oregano are doing well.
 
Thank goodness, my very expensive lemongrass is doing well.
 
 
Sadly, I seem to have killed two of my three lavender plants I purchased this year.  I don't seem to do well with lavender.
 
Behind the lavender are my sunflowers that bloom every year in mid-September.  A bird (?) originally left the seeds a few years ago and now these plants are out of control.
 
Thanks ever so much for stopping by today.  Bleubeard and I are grateful you don't get too bored with me sharing my herbs once a month.

Ohh Elisabeth, your herbs are just gorgeous. Heat, sunshine, makes all of the difference. Oh yeah and a good watering too. Have a nice day today.

🌿 What a lovely herb garden update! I really enjoyed seeing how the different herbs are growing through early August. The rosemary, thyme, oregano, tarragon, and lemongrass all look wonderful, and the story of the sunflowers returning year after year adds an especially beautiful touch. Gardening is such a rewarding journey because every season brings both successes and lessons. Thank you for sharing these beautiful glimpses of your garden! 🌻🌿
