Just about to harvest another dill crop. The sun was a bit too hot when they bolted and set blossoms, so some of the umbrels weren't pollinated very well. Should get a couple thousand seeds for the next crop, though (always reduce my estimates by half...friendly tip!)
Finally have a decent sage plantlet, roots dry and growing. It's the windy season here, though, gusts of over 50mph some days, so I'm carefully keeping it on the porch.
Trimmed back the oregano. One of the plants was fully 12 feet high and getting spindly. Looks like the leaves on the remaining branches are coming in much thicker...but it's early days yet, so not counting any chickens. (Chickens?? I don't grow any dang chickens. The official count is ZERO!)
Going to buy a couple of mature thyme plants in our excellent outdoor mkt here. Every attempt to grow from seed starts off very well indeed, but, even though the seedlings are sheltered, the plants have never reached maturity/blossoming.
My classic (huge) mother rosemary plant had wet root problems last year, but WAS coming back. Then we had a dose of too hot/too windy and the leaves have started dropping again. Soooooo, I'm going to take as many cuttings as possible, then uproot the plant. Have 3 other cuttings doing very well from the mother plant, should wind up with 8 to 10. Note: if you use urea to thicken/strengthen the leaves, keep it away from the roots!
And that's all from herb heaven (tomatoes? what're those?)
Best to ya!
Thanks for all the info and tips. I’ll be checking the rosemary tomorrow. Ground is too sloppy today, and this is my computer day.
