MIB - Missing on Blog...

Plase everyone accept my APOLOGIES two fold for not showing up here and for the new girls who have asked to join....you will hear from me very soon for "information" on how to leave posts and become a member.  I have a new computer (and being technically challenged as I am) I am trying very hard to find all my info from the old computer....AND I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Earlene - I have never planted fennel of any kind and haven't a clue how to help you.....having my own problems with catmint showing up EVERYWHERE...(yikes!!)

Don't give up on me yet...XOXO, Judy

Bronze Fennel

This Herb will grow to 4 ft. and is beautiful....but I did not realized how invasive it would become. Any suggestions to get under control would be helpful. ~Blessings~ Earlene

Herb Samplers

I have had these cute small samplers for 15 plus years. I want to make an area in my pantry with Herbs and these Samplers.

Chives peeking through in Spring

Thank you so much for inviting me. I so excited about this blog because I love gardening. I can't spend as much time on it as I want to but try to get out as much as I can. Herbs are great because they take little care and taste so good.

This picture is from 2011 but are the first to pop up.

I look forward to sharing and showing more of my herbs and flowers through the year.

Blessings

Green Christmas

Here in Pennsylvania or should I say my part of Pennsylvania we will have a green Christmas. One of my favorite books says, A GREEN CHRISTMAS, A WHITE EASTER. Can you guess which book? I will give you a hint, it was founded in 1792. Merry Christmas garden friends!!

Just the Favorite Time for This Herb!

I think spring and fall are my two favorite seasons.  These last few days have been spectacular in southwestern Pennsylvania.  The pineapple sage (Salvia elegans) is not nearly as pretty as usual and the humming birds are long gone, but it is an edible flower and you should use it fresh not dried.  Our pineapple sage did come back from last year (not typical) and so we potted it up and are bringing it in for the season.  Everyone in the south is lucky to have it as a perennial.  Use it in fruit salads and iced or hot teas.  I always talk about this too late in the season when it is just about over.  Hope you all have had a great summer.  Talk to you later!  Lemon Verbena Lady
