We had a lovely (though all-too-short) rain over the weekend, and I finally learned to stop picking at the herb garden and just let it GROW. (Or I've just been too busy to go out and check on it for the past week or so. Sigh.)
And I'm overdue for a post about normal stuff like gardening, rather than ranting about inflammatory topics. Ahem.
Back row: Weeds sprinkled with echinacea
Middle row: Marshmallow, flax, marshmallow
Front row: Chamomile (not visible here), dill, wormwood, flax, fennel, lavender
The dill has exploded as well as the marshmallow...the wormwood is still small, but doesn't seem unhappy where it is.
Baby flax! I don't know what it'll look like when it's full grown, but it's fun to watch.
And baby chamomile. I know that a lot of these plants look similar, but believe me there is a huge difference between them all (the dill smells strongly when crushed, the flax has individual spike-type growths, and the chamomile has a single stalk with frondy bits coming off of it). Believe me. I can tell.
Oh yes, and the Gookster presiding over all. She's a very nosy cat. O.e
Anyway...there's your weekly (biweekly?) herb garden update. Time to wait for things to grow more.
