The weather has been unable to make up its mind today. It started out gorgeous, sunny and very warm, and then it rained a little, and then it was overcast but warm and dry, and then a huge storm blew in, and within 20 minutes it was done. Now the sun is mildly shining and birds are chirping again. I went out into the garden/yard at least three separate times, but in the end I did get one projcect done.
I pulled out a ton of chickweed and other weeds in the odd little bed between the driveway and the neighbor’s fence.
The bed was also pretty overgrown onto the driveway, so I pushed it back to the boundary it should have, and planted seeds for a number of herbs including Fine Verde Basil, Thyme, Oregano Vulgare, Parker’s Variety Yarrow, and Colorado Yarrow Mix. I also threw in a random packet of wildflower seeds I had lying around. We’ll see what takes!

Anne, I just planted my herb seeds a few days ago. I’m crossing my fingers that they come up. It seems so improbable, doesn’t it? And yet, presumably, we’ll both be herbing up our dinners this summer with stuff from our own gardens!
It *does* seem improbable! Maybe it’s because I have such a little bit of experience with gardening, but planting things from seed, it amazes me when anything actually grows! I can’t wait to be able to use some herbs as I learn more about cooking!
