This morning I went "shopping" in my greenhouse and kitchen garden. Here you can see Rhubarb,Garlic Chives, and Cucumbers. That wasn't all that was harvested though.
Nope I also got the last of the pea's off the vine. Not a whole lot this year but thats ok with me. But the harvest shopping spree didn't stop there.
From left to right front row is Basil, Rosemary, Pesto Basil. And in the back row is Variegated Mint. Talk about a nice smelling cutting board. But that wasn't all I picked up.
Nope a big pile of Lemon Balm. Now that is some strong smelling herbs there. My kids smelled it from another room.
I harvested early this morning as it's the best time to harvest herbs but some days I also harvest in the evening after the heat of the day. Today my evening harvest time was stormy. So it looks like Mother Nature truly did read my blog and gave me and the gardens some very much needed rain. I just hope that she doesn't go over board and give us too much rain like last month.
Oh well rain is rain and it is needed.
Gardening is a blessing. Teaching others is a responsibility. But to enjoy gardening and teach others is priceless.
Welcome - come enjoy my Garden with me
My Garden although it may be small is my garden. I love working in the garden and showing or telling others about it. While you are here take a look around. There is a lot to see. Take a look at the other blogs I love to read. Leave a comment if you like. But most of all. Enjoy your time here, and come back soon.

Everything looks wonderful and healthy. Know how you feel about the rain. We just got our first in a month of 90's. I'll take any little bit.
