this years herb garden has filled out nicely. the lemon balm and the sage (on the right) are attempting to take over! the spanish lavender and monarda are also on their way as well as the rosemary and oregano. on the left, you can see almost all of the 6 kinds of basil as well as the big beautiful bronze fennel that we planted specifically for the butterflies! the thyme and marjoram have filled in nicely after the damage of last years drought. this year i added flowers to the herb garden, violas and nasturtiums that are edible and some salvia that isn't and it should be nice and colorful. so fare, the skinks are doing a good job keeping watch, we have seen a large male broad head and a small blue tail of unknown sex. hopefully they will stay outside this year, a few snuck into the house last year and josie was all over them!
as professional chefs, it is only natural for us to have an interest in gardening, so much of our work involves fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs. it shouldn't surprise anyone that we have a large garden. with all of the hybrid and heirloom plants available, there are a lot of things to try and grow. to attempt growing so many things in one yard is crazy. welcome to our garden, a place where insanity rules and we love it.
