Good Morning. I am currently on daily squirrel watch as one comes around to “help” early in the morning. My herb garden is in full swing. I have been enjoying fresh peppermint tea all week.
I will be making my first batch of pesto this week. I put three basils in one pot, a large Genoese, mid sizes red, and tiny leaf Greek basil. The guy that sold me the basil plant told me I’d have a pretty pot and he was right.
I put in some Johnny Jump ups and have been adding them to cocktails as a garnish. They are pretty and give off a hint of violet.
Lots of dill, oregano and sage flavored dishes right now.
The Swiss chard is almost ready for the first picking. Hopefully I get as much as I did last year.

Thanks for the reminder to put out a jar of Sun Tea to steep! May as well make the best of all this heat and sunshine! That Basil combination sounds lovely!
We finally had RAIN, yesterday - though it was 10 minutes of hail (pea sized) then about 40 minutes of gentle, soaking rain with rumbling thunder, then 50MPH winds from the EAST, which is a bad thing! Blew a panel out of my greenhouse - AGAIN - but I found the pieces and nothing is broken.
husband as well.....he does not use traps...
