2. Herb Garden

I am excited to plant my very first outdoor herb garden.  I noticed that the temps here in our so-cal location were cooler.  I thought could it be that an outdoor herb garden would work? It has been a dream of mine to walk outdoors, cut some thyme, basil, etc, and use in my very own dish.  Dream has become reality (at least for the moment).  What a wonderful adventure planning, planting, and harvesting!!!

As you can see I am a fan of thyme, since I planted 3 varieties.  I had used all these herbs in cooking before with the exception of the lemon thyme.  It has now become a favorite! It has a slightly more lemon flavor than just regular thyme  Chopped fine, added to butter and  placed on top of  grilled salmon equals deli-sh!  Some thing about adding your home grown herbs to a dish brings joy to me.  Another step in joyous living!
