I’ve tried sharing fresh herbs with my local friends and community, but I have few takers. One friend said, “I would be glad to take some, but I don’t know how to cook with them. Could you please put some easy guidelines and recipes on your blog?”
I’m reminded by FB several days a week as “this time last year” pictures pop up that we are about a month behind on self-seeding germination and perennial resurgence because of our double whammy deep-freeze of 2020. Suddenly, I’m confused as to what I’m supposed to be doing in my garden in May!
Sun-loving plants grow so easily and prolifically basking in the sun’s nurturing rays. However, let’s not neglect our shady spots nestled under our trees and patio overhangs.
My cat agrees with me that it’s a stunning spring morning. Notice that the African Violets, all on their own, intrinsically announce the budding of spring.
I peek under the brown burnt leaves and cross my fingers hoping to see some green underneath my blackened frost damaged perennials. In the picture you can see the leaves of my beloved Shasta Daisy returning!
