I ventured to the Farmer's Market this past weekend. Although it is still a little early for vegetables in our area I did come home with several pots of herbs. Parsley, Rosemary, French Tarragon and Basil. These are the ones I use most for cooking and, somehow, not a single one of my herbs survived this past winter.
See the aloe plant in the back? Fantastic for soothing burns. Pierce gave me this plant for Mother's Day in 1996. It was a kindergarden "class science project" - meaning the children divided small pups from a large mother plant and cared for them for an entire semester before presenting them to their mothers as gifts. Isn't that just the sweetest idea?
All my new herbs are now nestled in larger pots on the back patio, just a few steps from the kitchen. And they are already providing with cuttings for my kitchen endeavors, while being kept company by the aloe and a few potted flowers.
