Basil and other herbs in my garden

Planted my yearly supply of basil. Love this stuff. I think I will look up a recipe using basil in the next few days and post it. Pesto is of course, the biggie, but there are other things to make with fresh basil.

My chives have blossomed. People in my family are reluctant to eat flowers so I don't include them in salads.

I'm going to harvest some of my new crop of Lemon Balm and make tea.

My rosemary bush is in bad shape. My husband purned it to within an inch of its life. Now that I have a charcoal grill again, I think I will fire it up and use the stems of the rosemary to make shrimp kabobs.

I should be able to harvest a few sprigs of lavender this year, but I need to replace the plant. The automatic yard water sprayers drown my plantings.

From my herb garden to yours.
