Tall and Proud

Look at me, mediocre gardener. I survived your Midwest winter. (Okay, it was the winter of 23-24 and rather on the mild side.)

I’m going to stand here tall and proud, inviting you to clip my branches to flavor your tuna salad and other dishes.

Do you grow herbs? Have you had unexpected survivors?

This particular pair of parsley did well until mid-summer when they started going to seed. Since I’m not that serious of a gardener, they were quickly clipped, dried, and stashed in a glass jar for future use. (Oh, yes, I labeled them also.)

In the mid-19th century, most gardens contained a few herbs to both flavor the food and to use as medicine. In th sweet historical romance, Stitching a Dream, Polly, the seamstress gets herbs for tea for her ill son. Click on the link to get more book information. https://amzn.to/3VwoeFh
