April has been a wet month, but that’s okay! Lots of rain, and as they say, “April Showers Bring May Flowers.” I just love the season of Spring. My yard is a kaleidoscope of colors and the temperature is perfect. It’s not too cold, not too hot, and lots more sunshine.
I usually think about planting flowers about now, but this year I’ve decided to give herbs a chance. Since I don’t have a big yard to plant vegetables, I’ve planted my salad in pots. I have three kinds of lettuce, kale, cilantro, rosemary, oregano, spinach, two kinds of mint, (one being chocolate mint, who’s ever heard of that?) basil, lemon balm, two kinds of parsley, and lavender. I’m already harvesting and it’s been great!
