It’s been a while since I featured my herbs in ‘Down on the Farm’ and what better time to show them off than this beautiful season of Spring. Mind you, it rained for nearly 48 hours straight before I was able to take a suitable photo over the weekend. The rain is gone and the sun is shining again.
On Saturday I was given some beautiful lemon grass. I don’t have a big enough area to plant it straight into the ground so another potted herb it is. I love how they are growing, how fresh they taste, and how Norm is now using them in his outdoor cooking. There are some larger ones planted among the vegetables too which we’ll use more until the little ones grow. I use some of the bigger plants for making fresh teas too.

A good collection. Perhaps pots keep the plants contained

Like mint and other herbs that spread underground, they’re best in pots.

Your Herb garden is sure looking good. I need to start again with mine but will have to wait early January because I won’t be home to water them.

We’re blessed with good neighbours eager to water the garden while we’re away. They’re always rewarded with a handful fresh strawberries, blue berries, herbs or a couple of beans. Otherwise the ripe fruit and vegetables rot and wasted on our return. Our neighbours are all spritely 60 plus aged.

I live in a complex where there are 28 units… mostly seniors. The problem is if you need a favour they then want to get inside your unit and you can’t get rid of them. …ouch.
