Parsley

We got some Earth Boxes on sale to use next year, but in the meantime we filled them up with kale for the caterpillars and some parsley for us.

The sage is about to bloom

I guess I should think of something to make with sage, maybe a roasted chicken or some pork chops?

Catnip

The weeds are crowding out some of the herbs I planted, but not the catnip – not too surprising since it’s a member of the mint family.

Basil

Part of my ongoing effort to photo every plant in the yard. I love basil, but it’s not vary hardy compared to herbs like thyme and rosemary – a long weekend of 90 degrees with no water might kill it.

In other news, the K20D is still working – I can’t remember when it last froze. The freezing thing seems to happen more often when the battery is fully charged.

Sea of thyme

Thyme is one of my favorite herbs – I like that it’s milder than rosemary and sage, and the little leaves stick to meat. Luckily, it grows nicely in our yard, competing well against the hyper-aggressive mint that I should not have planted.
