My Herb Garden




I've always wanted to grow my own herbs so I put two hanging planters on my deck and filled them with sage, oregano, thyme, basil, marjoram, and a few pretty flowers as well. As you can see, the cross is still on my little renovated church.
Since I am new at it, I left the labels in, to make sure I was not accidentally eating daisies or lobelia.
Here is my first harvest. I am making a prime rib roast, using a recipe from Chef Michael Smith - Chef at Home on the Food Network (http://www.foodtv.ca/recipes/recipedetails.aspx?dishid=1750) I just need to add a few potatoes and it is ready to go in the oven! Having my own fresh herbs somehow makes me feel proud, and I am sure this will be even more delicious knowing that I grew them.
In the front of the house, I have put tomato plants against the iron planters. Stay tuned for tomato photos (I hope!)
