I really wanted to get out and examine the garden today before the rain comes in. The sky looks like it's ready to rain so I better check out the garden now vs. later.
Ugh oh, this isn't looking good. Clearly my green paw isn't working this plant. Jerry, what do I do?
Ahh, this is better. The onions are coming nicely and I must admit the green compliments my orange color. I can't wait to try the onions - we planted sweet and yellow ones this year.
It was time for us to get a new rosemary plant. Our current rosemary served us well but we think we need a new one. This plant is beary small - hopefully it grow soon.
The cilantro looks good. Who wants salsa?
Speaking of salsa I noticed that we got a few volunteer cherry tomatoes sprouting up. Should I pull them and plant new tomatoes or should we keep them and see what's going to happen?
No, I am not traversing the jungle of Peru I am just enjoying hanging out in the mint patch. Good thing it was planted in a container versus the ground. Speaking of mint, maybe it's time for a Mojito?
For the very beginning of spring, your garden is looking pretty good. Jerry suggests clearly all the dead growth and leaves away. He also suggests planting extra herbs...you can always dry them to use during the winter! The mint is also beary good on ice cream!
ReplyDeleteI will have to check out how to dry herbs, that's a great idea. Mint on ice cream? That's a great idea.
DeleteBen says you can put basil and a little water in a blender, blend it, then pour it into ice cube trays, freeze it, then store the cubes in a container in the freezer; great to use in the winter, even drop a cube in your pasta sauce or soup for extra flavor.
DeleteGood job L. Fox. I say keep the volunteer tomatoes. We had some last year and they did amazing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the advice on the volunteers - we'll keep you updated.
DeleteLooking good! What is your favorite vegetable LF?
ReplyDeleteGreat question. I would have to say onions. What about you?
ReplyDeleteI like potatoes! and corn! and zucchini! and green peppers! and just about anything
