Congrats! Anything else you are waiting on?

My dill sprouted this year.

I thought i had more herb seeds, but i didnt, so thats one thing i will be adding more to my garden as well.
I like the idea of the medicinal herbs, i did start some black cohosh, but it hasnt sprouted yet, but its only been a few days.

I have some herbs/weeds that I use a TON of all year round. I'll be adding more of those to protected areas this year.

I should plant some dill this year.

barleychown · « **Reply #56 on:** Apr 27, 2010, 10:32:26 AM »

I love fresh dill...and so do butterflies.

Penny · « **Reply #57 on:** Apr 27, 2010, 10:33:44 AM »

Well i will be adding that to the few things that i have to buy.....for herbs and veggies anyway.

I also like growing borage, have you tried that?

Penny · « **Reply #59 on:** Apr 27, 2010, 10:37:29 AM »

No, thats a new one....what do you use it for?

barleychown · « **Reply #60 on:** Apr 27, 2010, 10:42:43 AM »

It makes your tomatoes set fruit better, and the flowers taste like cucumbers. I put them in salads, or sugar them and use them to decorate desserts.

I plant dill with the squash and the cukes to keep the squash bugs away. I plant basil with my tomatoes. Never tried borage. Wonder if it's too late her to put out seeds if I can find them.

Penny · « **Reply #62 on:** Apr 27, 2010, 10:45:19 AM »

Thanks, I'll have to look for that one too, we are planning a trip to a big garden center the middle of May, right around our last frost date, so thats one that i will look for.

barleychown · « **Reply #63 on:** Apr 27, 2010, 10:50:30 AM »

It's not too late for borage.

Gosh Penny. Our last frost date was April 2nd.

Thanks Sarah. I'm on the lookout. I just programmed borage into my phone so I don't forget.

barleychown · « **Reply #66 on:** Apr 27, 2010, 10:56:56 AM »

Let me know if you don't find it...I may have seeds now, or will for sure at the end of the summer.

Penny · « **Reply #67 on:** Apr 27, 2010, 10:59:37 AM »

Nope, up here our last frost date is May 24.

I'll be glad when my date comes and goes, and i can move my "grow op" outside

barleychown · « **Reply #70 on:** Apr 27, 2010, 11:16:14 AM »

I hear ya! I took a pic of my greenhouse, I need to find it and post it.

Penny · « **Reply #71 on:** Apr 27, 2010, 11:19:34 AM »

Everything is on my freezer, or in a tomato flat from the grocery store and thats on the laundry sink, so i have to constantly move things to get to the sink, or in the freezer.....plus the light is back there and the heating mat, so all the cords too.

bestofour · « **Reply #72 on:** Apr 27, 2010, 12:04:15 PM »

Right now I've got some seedlings outside I need to get in the ground. It got into the high 40's last night. Hope they're ok.

Penny · « **Reply #73 on:** Apr 27, 2010, 01:13:16 PM »

I wish i could leave some things out overnight, but guaranteed they would be dead by morning.

You know I just had to check out the herbs while I was at the garden center. I was actually looking for mint but I didn't like what they had. It just didn't have enough of a smell.

But they had what they called a bush basil. It's adorable it's like a miniature tree almost. It's so cute. So I just had to get it. Then I had to get a rosemary. One day I'll get one to grow. And the lemon balm was really strong so I decided I just had to have some of that as well. I could have easily picked up another 15 plants of one type or another but there does have to be a limit. Especially since I was spending the gas and grocery emergency money on the credit card.
