THE PLANTS

It's that time again. Time to pull the weeds and get the ground ready for the seeds that will grow into beautiful plants as the summer advances. This is beyond doubt my favorite time of year, and I've already gotten out my seeds and seen what I still have, and what I yet need. :)

I always have an herb garden, and it's kept me terribly happy through the years. There is nothing that can lift your spirits quite like the smell of fresh Basil, or that can put you in a quiet frame of mind quite like the smell of fresh lavender. And, there is no comparison at all between fresh chamomile out of the garden, and ready made tea bags.

Below you will find listings of the herbs that I personally grow, and as much information on them as I can garner to help you grow them as well.

May your life be long, and the road beyond you uncluttered by roadblocks. :)
