Table Talk » I know that it's too early, but I just had to

This winter was exceptionally long. The snow started in November and it snowed and snowed and snowed and the temperature never rose enough for the snow to melt between storms. Our yard has been snow-free for about 2 weeks. Two glorious weeks!

Last night we went to Home Depot to buy some fertilizer and I saw that they had herb plants. I couldn't resist buying some. I got rosemary, flat-leaf parsley, sage, thyme, and peppermint. They had lots of basil, but my Aerogarden is loaded with basil and one cold night will kill basil. The others are tougher so I decided to take the chance on buying them AND planting them outside. If we have some really cold nights, I might lose some of them, but it's a risk that I'm willing to take. I spent a few hours this afternoon puttering in the garden and planting the herbs.

Nothing like growing your own fresh herbs...no risk means no reward! I am hoping for NH warm nights now, Patti!

Oooh, the herbs look wonderful. Now I've got to go get some and plant them! I see some new mint leaves peeking out of the soil in their planter. The mint stays in a planter all by itself, because it tends to be bossy and take over.
