Just singing in the rain




Category: FRED - the garden | Posted: Sat Feb 25, 2006 12:24 am

thank your lucky stars that you don't have to hear me tho. We are only getting about 1/2 inch but it has been a slow steady rain almost all day.

Of course this was the first chance I had to go to one of the best native/organic nurseries in the county. The herb section is covered so I was able to shop and stay fairly dry. It was certainly pleasant listening to the rain hitting the plastic roofing and the ocassional splash of water hitting the top of my head and running into my eye was fun......no really, I truely enjoyed it.

FRED will soon be home to more plants.....
Pennyroyal where our dog has to go thru it to come inside
Curry....I don't cook very much but the plants smell soooo good
Thyme, again I don't cook but I like it
Feverfew, good for headaches so I hope to dry it for tea when needed
Tarragon, my oldest loves it in flavored vinegar
Lemon Balm, again I love the smell
Sage....purple sage actually
Peppermint, again for tea
2 sweet pea vines that I think will be turned loose to cover the windmill
one pink phlox (yes I hate pink and yes I bought a pink one, call me weak when it comes to pretty plants)
3 scarlet geraniums for the planter on the front porch

Next week will be wonderful gardening weather here, close to 80F by the end of next week.
