Four Blue Daisies



My garden looks terrific - in my head, at any rate. While cleaning up the mess that winter left behind, I discovered several volunteer onions. I decided to leave them and see what they’ll do. Last year’s thyme is doing well, as is the parsley. The mint, though, is having delusions of grandeur. I’ve given it fair warning: if it doesn’t stop trying to take over the whole space, it will find itself transplanted to a pot on the deck. The rosemary technically survived the winter, but it looked so sickly I chose to put it out of its misery. That leaves room for a few heirloom tomatoes (I’ve had bad luck with them, but never stop hoping), elephant garlic, dill, bell peppers, carrots, lavender, basil, sage, daikon (I'm eager to try a recipe for carrot/daikon salad I found on the Food Network), oregano and a fresh new rosemary plant. Wish me luck!
