This week, I put my thyme and basil seedlings in the herb garden. As I know how much rabbits love basil, I put a little fence around it immediately. To no avail. Something got in and ate one of the basil plants. Could it be a bird? I check around the fence for openings and piled more bricks around the base. Anyway, I am very pleased with both the thyme and the basil.
I also purchased a rosemary plant at the Wisteriahurst Plant Sale. I have read that it is very difficult to start rosemary from seed and it's better off to just buy a plant. This plant cost $3.00. Much better to part with the 3 bucks then to waste so much time trying to grow something difficult.
As you can see from the above photo, the parsley is taking off! I planted this last year, and as it is a biennial, it's back for its second year. It looks like it's going to go to seed soon. I may try to save some of these seeds and see what they do.
I need to hurry up and actually cook something with this stuff! I should also dry some and make some parsley pesto.
