A Huge Herbal Surprise!

I am outside working in the herb garden and what should I see popping up out the ground! My LEMON VERBENA is coming back! Whoo Hoo! Very, very exciting. I left two outside and the other one is just growing weeds at the moment! Now I have to be like a protective mama and remember to cover it when we have our next frost warning! And you know that will come along! It has been a weird year. Hope you are finding herbal surprises in your garden as well. Talk to you later.

lemonverbenalady said...: It is exciting TO to get any herb through some winters. You will love your salad burnet and thyme can be problematic in a cold and wet winter. So good for you!

Well, I guess I would lose my title of lemon verbena lady, wouldn't I?

Well, it has to grow a whole lot more Carla, but yes, I can see it in the future.

Thanks ladies for stopping by.; April 18, 2012 at 1:50 PM
