We’ve taken to our back deck to make our own herb garden!

Now if you’ve been following along for a while now…

You know that I have green thumb issues.

But since the nice folks at my CSA keep giving me herbs I decided to get on it.

With my special helpers of course!

Basil…

Dill…

Oregano…

Thyme…

and Sage.

  1. I keep saying I’m going to start my own herb garden… but I always seem to think about it this time of year when it’s 115 degrees outside!! lol Poor thing would never survive! Looking forward to see how yours turns out!

  2. GOOD LUCK! I too am green-thumb challenged! So i want to see how you do, then maybe I can embark on just trying to keep a plant alive, then move on to herbs! LOL!
    Happy Weekend!

  3. Yay for you! You’ve got some super cute helpers there. I know you are going to love your herb garden. Have a great weekend!

  4. good luck girl, if you succeed, maybe i’ll give it a try!

  5. We have chives and oregano too! We tried to grow thyme…but I apparently have a green thumb similar to yours :)

  6. What cute kids. And yes, the herb garden is so much fun! I have to remember to water mine every day because they’re in pots, but with this warm weather they’re really growing like crazy!!

  7. One of the things I love about living in the south is that most of the herbs winter over and don’t have to be replanted! I still have to replant the basil, parsley, dill and cilantro, but the rosemary, thyme, tarragon, oregano and sage all keep! YAY!
