The Herb Garden Update.

Finally today after spending the last month focusing on getting the veggies planted, the container gardening project completed and the yard cleaned up... I was able to give the herbs a bit of love this morning!

The are all so sad.... Very little growth... what will I do with out my herbs?  I think next year they will have to find a different location, somewhere that gets a little bit more sun.

But not everything is struggling!  OMG!!  The Peppermint is taking over!

All the growth below the "center plant" is new! It has spread out about 1' to a 1 1/2'... Now I have to figure out exactly what I can do with it, other then make Peppermint tea.  How impossible or possible is it to make your own extract/oil?  As I bake alot of goodies around christmas that use peppermint.

The multiplier onions and garlic are also coming along nicely... but they can tolerate a bit more shade then most herbs

All other herbs aren't worth mentioning at this time... as their growth is so sad!  So today, I gave them a nice top feeding of bone and blood meal... along with a sprinkling of Epson Salt... and for their next watering I will ensure to use compost tea... And hopefully this will give them the added boost they need to get back on track!
