Today, I would like to bore you with the details about this years garden.
My gardens are usually picturesque, filled with the flowers, produce and lots of herbs.
I have been known to brag about my green thumb and share some of the over abundance it produces.
However this year...different story.
I have never planted mint, I have heard mint will take over your garden.
I am here to tell you that basil can also do that.
One tiny plant, turned into this...
I planted 2, here they are in their infancy.
I have these lovely garden markers but this year all I really needed was a marker for my basil.
I have so much basil, I could supply all of New Jersey with it.
So day after day, I cut it back...
rinse it, soak it...
then lay it out to dry.
I've done this 5 times and still there's more.
- these leaves are huge -
We watered every day, fertilized at the right intervals, talked to them and still, they did nothing!
I have a total of 5 bags like this, all in the freezer, with lots more to process.
The pot on the right is a beautiful tomato plant that got huge and produced 2 green tomatoes.
Both disappeared.
Next up...a photo dump of pictures I took at various times during the summer, but never shared here.
