Spice Garden Check In
I posted two weeks ago about our herb planting. We’ve never planted herbs before, so this is a bit of an experiment.
Here’s a picture of what’s happening. From left to right, We planted Thyme, Basil, Oregano, Sage, Marjoram, Dill, Parsley and Chives. Everything is growing now except the Sage. Actually, I have no idea if what’s growing is actually what’s supposed to be growing because 1. like I said, I’ve never grown herbs before and 2. I got the dirt from our garden and I could have scooped up weeds. I guess time will tell.
Sometime over the next few weeks I’ll begin posting pictures of our garden this year. Last spring/summer we had a pretty good first garden. I’d like to ramp that up this year, and grow enough vegetables for our family with plenty left over to give away. There’s still a ton of work to do on that project. We need to decide what we want to grow this year and where we’re going to put the boxes so they can get the best sun. I already know were going to try potatoes, peas, and we’ll hopefully do corn in our field. I might go crazy and try watermellons and cantaloupe again (they rotted and were gross last year). And we’ll plant what worked well last year - early girl tomatoes, cucumbers, squash and green peppers. I’m pretty thrilled about gardening this year. Does that make me boring?
