I finally got my herbs planted. They've been sitting in the garden area in pots for a couple months now, and the roots have been tearing their way through the bottoms of the pots.
Recently someone stole the basil pot, so I decided to finally get around to planting the rest. The basil wasn't looking real healthy anyway, so I hope whoever has it is at least enjoying their single caprese sandwich.
I planted some mint, rosemary, parsley and a chaote. Michael calls the chaote, Costa Rica's zucchini--everyone has one, they produce like crazy, and everyone's trying to give them away. In a stir fry, they have a nice crunch like a water chestnut. I know people do all sorts of other things with them here as well.
Anyway, enjoy seeing the garden without weeds. Given my track record, it won't last long.
This post makes me want good weather more than your beach posts do. I miss playing in the dirt SO much! Also, I just spent the afternoon scraping snow off my roof on a ladder with a push-broom. To make way for the heat-tape I'm trying to use to melt the foot of ice-dams all around my rain-gutters. Just thought you'd appreciate that.
