Our late freeze this year meant we lost a few plants, several had to be cut to the ground to start over and a few had their new growth frozen. But herbs being hardy souls, one of the reasons I love them, they are back in full force! The sage and lavender are in bloom and ready to be harvested, the hyssop is also in bloom and though I don't use a lot I love the dark purple spikes. Lemon Balm was one of the plants that froze completely so now we are coddling the little plants that are appearing in the area to transplant where they will have more room. The thymes survived quite well, as did the oregeno and came back stronger it seems. The arch angel, which I though was destroyed, has been putting new growth out faster than you can believe...they love this weather.
These warm rains are wonderful for the plants, almost like a huge greenhouse :) The lawn too grows at a rate that keeps the lawn mowers in the neighborhood busy. Other than some annuals for color all of the plants are in the ground. I was able to get more of the Dragon Wing Begonias, they were gorgeous last year. I'll post a picture later this morning.
