Rain, Rain and more Rain!

Another day of rain! I'm beginning to worry about a few of the herbs - they don't do well in this wet weather. I just made a tour of the garden and while there is a lot of rain, the plants aren't as beat down as they were in the last storm. Hopefully, they are getting strong enough to withstand the storms.

I've harvested Lavender twice already and could do a third; same with Sage and Oregeno. I cut the Thyme back to about half - and will let the Lemon Thyme grow a bit more. The Costmary plant I got is doing well and the Borage is about a foot tall now and flowering, so should be a good year for it. The Lemon Verbenas too are doing well, I have one in the ground and one potted but don't have a place to overwinter them so will have to be content with harvesting the leaves through the summer. The hardy Rosemarys are thriving, not sure about the others yet.

This continues to be an interesting year, weather wise :) Plus, we have more insects than I can remember...even having some trouble with the herbs and insects usually never bother them. We are reluctant to have the yard sprayed so will see what happens.
