What's ready where you are?

[Guest guest]

I am getting ready to go out and spend some quality time

with my chamomile patch. The mints are going to get

a little snip as well as the anise hyssop so that I can

start putting some tea blends together.

 

I'm watching the wild oats carefully so I don't miss them,

and just made a fresh batch of jewelweed vinegar.

 

I'll bet I'm not the only one gathering herbs already.

In Michigan, we have thyme, oregano, parsley, and chives doing beautifully.

My mint (smells sooo good) has already been accosted by four-lined plant

bugs, the bane of our gardening attempts. Afraid to even try basil again.

Yes indeed Tina, some of the hyssop I have not snipped back is flowering already

and I've already got some of that and some mints and sage drying. My sage is

going nuts this year! It really liked this weird spring weather we have had in

southern IL. On the other hand, my cilantro which usually grows like wildfire,

is spindly and not thriving (??) this year.
