This afternoon, I took a peek out onto the veranda from my bedroom window. I saw that my herb plants are all grown up. They were babies just two weeks ago when I bought them at the local superstore. I went outside and did some trimming. My borage plant seems to be doing the best - it's almost two feet tall now! It's blossoming beautiful violet and pink flowers. I'm definitely going to make ice cubes with the flowers when cocktail season kicks in. Borage is supposed to have a cucumber-like taste so I'm also thinking of making a crisp, fresh salad with cucumbers, tomatoes and red onions.
My herb pots also include sage, rosemary, thyme, Italian parsley, basil and Greek oregano. They have been attracting a lot of various bugs. My dill plant was bought in a separate pot. Sadly, it's going through a rough patch. As you can see, most of it is yellowing. There is the one little fighter in the middle that I'm hoping will pull through.
The landlord planted some gorgeous yellow flowers in the front yard that are in full bloom at the moment. I'm not sure what they are called. They are calming to look at in any case.
