I’m bringing in one batch of tarragon, chives, oregano, and rosemary to use indoors until they fade. I leave the tarragon and chives outside. I know the chives will be fine, and I think the tarragon may be fine, too, but we will see. Like an idiot, I forgot about my basil plant, which was beautiful but out of the way, and the frost got to it. I’m a little bummed, but it’s my own fault.
I harvested so much basil I’m actually getting tired of pesto.
Yesterday I picked a few fresh leaves and popped them into my mouth. Wow, an explosion of flavor.
This is my first year of returning to gardening after a twelve years hiatus. It’s also my first year with a new property and North Carolina vs Pennsylvania.
