It's all about herbs for me. I will probably be learning about herbs the rest of my life. Enjoying my life through my herb garden and traveling with The Herbal Husband.

This is a favorite herb with a caveat! The good news is garlic chives are a late blooming herb in July and August. The bad news is if you don't want them to take over, you must cut the flowers as soon as they start to die back or you will have a million (a slight exaggeration) in a minute! I'll get digging most of them out this spring!

Look really close and you'll see goldfinches on the sunflowers below. Have to get more of these in the gardens this year!

Tobacco flower or Nicotiana. Very nice in the evening garden on a moonlit night. Lovely fragrance.

Everblooming climbing 'Cecile Brunner' is hardy, but it does have to come back from the ground each year. It does bloom from June until frost in PA. Beautiful little flowers. Great decoration for cakes or cupcakes!

Spearmint in bloom! You will have a lot of bees coming to collect pollen. It's quite a sight.

'Alaska' nasturtium. Variegated edible leaves and flowers. Taste peppery. Very easy to grow from seed.

Had a small visitor to the bee balm. If you look closely a hummingbird is working its way around the flowers. This photo is mid-July.

Kaffir lime leaves used in Thai cooking. Has to be in a container in the Pittsburgh area. Watch out for the thorns on the trunk. The leaves are very fragrant. They are like a bay leaf. Don't eat them unless they are ground up very finely. Better to use them whole and then take them out at the end of cooking.

You can sort of see the larval stage of the ladybug turning into an adult ladybug.
