Harvesting Edible Garden Tour - May 21, 2011

Good morning everyone.  Although almost afternoon.  A little late today in getting this post out but I had some herb shopping to do this morning.

I got all that for free in 15 min from my favorite store....my greenhouse.  With out reading on can you identify any of the herbs?  I bet you can maybe no all but some.  So it's that time of the month where I share what I have harvested this month....well today it is what I harvested today....and as you can see....there is a lot. So without further delay lets get on with the tour.

 Italian Oregano - the smell just makes me so hungry

 Spearmint - I love the smell of Mint in the morning.

Lemon Balm - My new favorite plant as it's official name is Melissa......how can I not grow and harvest this plant when it's named after me.

 Chocolate Mint - the Greenhouse now has a sweet Italian smell going on.

 Pesto Basil - Ok now all thats needed is some pasta and man what a meal.

 Summer Savory - Not as strong of a smell as the others but still wonderfully adds to the aroma.

Common Sage - Common is such a rude word for this plant as it is so pleasant to smell.

 Pineapple Sage - A new addition to the greenhouse harvested today only to get a more bushy effect.  Smells good though.

 Variegated Sage - Colorful and fragrant.

 Parsley - Adds another Italian smell to the very fragrant Greenhouse.

Garlic Chives - Because the other herbs growing didn't add enough smells to the greenhouse (yea right)

Sweet Basil - Another herb not quite ready to be harvested but done so anyways for a bush effect.

Dill - Quite a different smell from all the other herbs harvested this morning but man I didn't want to leave the greenhouse.

Growing the herbs in the greenhouse this year was a good idea as I am sure to get a large yield.

So what are you harvesting from your gardens?  Nothing ready to harvest yet?  No problem show off what you are hoping to harvest.
