Anyone need rosemary? Mine is taking over! I was thinking about trimming it way back until I realized it actually was shading the other herbs from the sizzling afternoon heat, they would perish without the shade. My oth er sun sensitive herbs are in a pot located in shade all day, they are also thriving. The recently installed raised bed was deeded to my wife for her birthday, its right outside the kitchen window and gets adored often!

as usual my fat fingers put the pics in the text.....

Dear Wife has been busy in the garden while I tend the fire! I love spring!

Welp, I’m pretty sure based on your comment about the yellow flower, that I miss identified your plant. I thought it was a Chaya plant. I’m going to post a photo of one of my Chaya plants here shortly so you can see. Chaya is a tree spinach, originally from the Yucatán peninsula. It’s pretty good to eat, but as with everything, it’s a matter of options and there are some preparations required before it’s consumed, which may make it less appealing to some. You have a nice garden.

Better keep an eye on your blueberries. We get uninvited guests . . . .

[smokenoob]

yes johnec00 I have to watch guard....unfortunately squirrel & crow don’t smoke well....

[FireMan]

I guess ya could call it raised, although one is fallen down & apart. It’ll be a bit weather wise.

[smokenoob]

well I don’t see herb’s shadow so looks like yer in for another month of winter...

[Ricardo]

Chaya plant info available at this link: http://people.umass.edu/psoil370/Syl...iles/Chaya.pdf
The plant has variations in its leaf patters, and from the photo you posted, I miss identified it.
in any case, here is one of my Chaya plants, so you can see.
Thank you,
Ricardo

This morning in the blueberry patch was like picking on cloud 9. The patch was downwind of a butt smoke 12 hours in! I need to look for some blueberry recipes, ice cream n blueberries don’t smoke well.....

Dude, you fence with the fish cut-outs is awesome. Are those planters corten? Very cool.

[smokenoob]

Thanks hoovarmin
fence was fun to design!
planters are standard steel, figure I’ll get ten years out of them, next time I’ll see if local fabricator can source corten

2021 is gonna be awesome! We have more blossoms on the orange, grapefruit, and lemon trees than ever. The monarch eggs have turned into beautiful caterpillars and they are devouring the milk weed. Turtles are patrolling the blueberry patch for blue breakfast! Jolly Green Giant would be proud of the rosemary. Bees are buzzing and lady bugs are on scene!

[Donw]

Gorgeous.

[Spinaker]

Awesome! I bet FL feels pretty good right now!

I think my herb garden needs a little work:

[smokenoob]

Just make a little progress every day

[theroc]

We don't have an herb garden, per se. Just assorted herbs scattered around the garden.

Clockwise from top right: sage, roman mint (mentuccia - awesome with artichokes), Sicilian oregano, rosemary, Provence lavender, French thyme.


Just planted Italian basil seeds.

[Rob Johnston]

I always say I am going to plant some and never do. I am hoping this year is different!

[smokenoob]

you will be rewarded!

[Huskee]

Well did ya do it?

[smokenoob]

Won’t be long now, they are turning blue! 😁

[ItsAllGoneToTheDogs]

I would love some raspberries or blueberries, but I also don't want blue/red bird poo on my cars or house. We had a red berry bush in the UK and were often "blessed" with cleaning opportunities.

[RonB]

And I'm still worried about frost. Many buds have come out of of dormancy well before the last expected frost date...

[smokenoob]

ItsAllGoneToTheDogs No trees over my driveway, good thing!

[HawkerXP]

They told me these were tomatoe plants. I've had to resort to extreme security measures cause I aint seen one tomato yet!

[smokenoob]

😂😂😂

[Huskee]

Keep your hopes high.
