This is a perfect weekend to catch up on my weeding and planting of the Lambs Ear in the starter tray. Not worried because it is a perinnial and although planted late, will be back every year.
The Snow on the Mountain have taken well and new growth is abound. Finally a solution for the
dirt under the cedar tree. They were a great buy on Ebay from "nan's garden" and took very well with new growth 4-5 days within planting. See the photo above. The "tigers" are also out and add a beautiful splash of orange to the back of the house.
Gave my first basil, coriander, and oregano clippings to my friend Liz to dry and make the multi spice/italian blend after drying. I like the "cold dry" method personally because it retains the flavor and the color when dried. I place them in baggies in the back of the fridge and leave them open to the cold air. Takes a couple weeks, then they are ready to be de-stemmed and put in the spice shaker.
Had to turn on the sprinklers having had no rain for awhile and facing 4-5 days more without it. The corn is in need of it badly and with raised beds, all of the plants are ready for a drink.
Looking forward to the next few sunny days up in the garden!
