Ok, so we did get a little bit of growth this week despite the awful weather. The mesclun surprised us yesterday by popping up in such a perfect row! A couple of sunflowers and a few of the onions have also sprouted. I was hoping to see some beans - but again, they prefer some warmer weather! Today was supposed to be sunny and nice, but so far we've had bouts of rain all morning. We are going to head to some greenhouses today to get a few more herbs and seeds and then hopefully plant the second half of the garden. I want to get mint, rosemary, cilantro, basil, and maybe dill and parsley. The mint of course will be in a planter so it doesn't overtake the garden. My one question however, is what kind of mint should I get for mint mojitos? There are so many kinds - apple mint, chocolate mint, spearmint? I think Spearmint is the way to go. In any case, I would like the herb garden to be a little crazy and full, instead of neat little rows. I hope to get that accomplished today.
