It's Time for Gardening!

After a wet, cold-ish spring, we finally have some warm weather! Okay, warm-ish. 

Here is the view to the west from my deck to the side of the house.

I got some seeds put into the ground weekend before last...

The peas are up! Just poked out of the ground yesterday.

The radishes just came out today...

I love the idea of using wine corks as garden markers. Use a Sharpie to label, then jam it onto the pointy end of a bamboo skewer. 

Now waiting for lettuce and carrots, which were planted the same time as the radishes (a week ago), and the kohlrabi, redbeets, basil, and zucchini I planted on Sunday.

Here are some other garden highlights...

 Asparagus

 Oregano

Rosemary

Mint

The asparugus has been excellent grilled in some aluminum foil with garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper.

The oregano provided an interesting substitution for cilantro when I made salsa the other day. It was good!  A little Italiany.  Good thing I like Italian.

I haven't actually used fresh rosemary yet this year, but it'll come in handy.

The mint makes an awesome addition to my morning smoothies.

I love gardens and herbs and fresh vegetables!

Does anyone have any good ideas for using rosemary? Leave a comment...
