It’s only Tuesday and it feels like it should be Friday! The family has been working diligently in the greenhouse. Joan aka mom, bought an ipod last weekend to help break up the monotony of planting. We were all proud of her for figuring out how to load music and itunes on it by herself. She swears she wanted one so that she didn’t have to listen to everyone else’s music and fuss but we’re betting she wanted a cool new toy! Either way, she really likes it and will be putting it to good use while grafting and planting in coming weeks. I wonder what songs are going to be on her frequently played list?

Posted are some pics of some of the herbs we recently planted…two of our favorites actually. Rosemary and Thyme- we like using these herbs with distinctive flavor to marinate steaks and other meats with, oven roast potatoes and squash plus they’re really great to use when cooking rice to give it a little something extra. Not only do they taste great but they smell amazing and their leaf shapes look really pretty in spring and summer deck pots!
