Herbs, Fragrant Herbs

This Chamomile is taking over! I love it’s sprawling natural look. This fall we’ll sip chamomile tea on cold nights. :)

Chives. We’re drying some to add a pop of color in potpourri. The kids, who despise onions, love to eat the tops of the chives. Go figure!

English Lavender, Chives, Chamomile. When I transplanted these they were about a foot apart, and now they’re all intertwined. Lesson learned!

This is one of Natalie’s borage plants. We thought the first seeds didn’t make it, and planted more- we have 12 now! Little buds are forming, and soon we’ll have their edible delicate blue flowers for our culinary creations. So far I have two ways to try them. One, floating in iced tea. Two, sugared and topped on a raspberry angel food cake.

I took this picture last week, and no kidding, the apple mint is at least a 1/3 again this size. I can’t wait to make our first batch of iced tea with it.

Our thyme is like the blob that just kept growing!
