Our herb garden is almost ready for our guests - except for the Basil which won't be planted until mid-May after danger of frost is past. Plants look small now but they will grow!!

SAGE CHIVES TARRAGON

This year we were lucky - the Sage and Tarragon survived in their pots for the first winter ever while we lost the Rosemary, Mint, Oregano, Cilantro, Thyme, and Dill. Of course, there is never a chance the Basil will survive and we do replant Parsley every year - 2 pots of both Basil and parsley as they are the favorites with our guests.

The Chives never die! In fact they spread so rapidly that I had to uproot 2 pots of chives to make room for the other herbs. We began years ago with only 1 pot of chives and this spring were up to 4 pots! The local garden club got the chives in 2 of our pots!
