Harvest

Every spring since 2008 I had always started some basil so I have supply throughout summer.  It may have started because of my frugality (the basil bunch is between $3.99 to $4.99 in the store).   Last spring was the most herbs I had started -- this time I had help, as B likes gardening too.  So this year for herbs we had parsley, basil, spearmint (which grew from last year!), peppermint, lemon basil, thyme, rosemary and oregano.   B also started Thai peppers, bell peppers, tomatoes and eggplant!

I'm excited for the harvest, especially when I see the price tag of the veggies (red bell pepper was $1.5/each!).   And when the eggplants are ready, I'll make caponata!
