We all need more Thyme!
A sweet little wreath I made from Thyme…
Tie bundles of thyme onto a wire form.
Hang in your kitchen and trim sprigs when you need to flavor your dishes.
Basil Bliss
This was last years crop of Purple Basil growing beautifully in the warm greenhouse.
Basil will be just one of the many Herbs available for sale this Spring in my 4th Annual Sale.
Herbs
Fresh Herbs, how I miss you during the long Winter.
Can’t wait for you to come back!
Seed saving
Cilantro when gone to seed becomes Coriander–
or a lot more Cilantro!
I will fill a jar for the spice cupboard and store the rest in my seed drawers for Spring planting.
Bountiful Basil
The Basil continues to grow at a fast pace.
On The Potting Bench
A few extra Herbs to take to the Farmer’s Market on Saturday morning.
Pretty Pinches
The warmer weather this past week has helped the Basil grow.
Enjoying the first pinches for salads and sandwiches.
Herb Wreath
Sometimes I just ignore the weeds and work,
and busy myself with a little fun project.
The Thyme that creeps around the edges of the garden is thick, lush and just starting to flower.
A good time to give it a little trim.
This is beneficial for the Thyme and gives me the opportunity to make a little Herb Wreath to hang in the kitchen
Gather little bundles of Thyme and tie with a piece of jute.
Tie the bundles onto the wire and knot tightly in the back of the wreath.
Tuck each new bundle into the previous bundle and continue around the wreath.
Tuck the Thyme in tightly, when it dries it will shrink down and you do not want the wire frame to show.
You can enjoy the wreath right away, snipping fresh Thyme for cooking.
If you would like to dry it, just hang it in a dry, cool location.
Just a little dash
I love when I can just snip a few fresh Herbs right from the garden.
I have been sprinkling Thyme on everything from sandwiches to roasted sweet corn.
These little ironstone butter pats are perfect for holding herbs for meal time.
