2. Rosemary. Use the woody sprigs for kabob skewers by removing the leaves and soaking in water before threading you favorite BBQ stuff.
3. Lemon. Always a favorite and most always in bloom.
4. Cabbage. Ready for March 17th?
5. Lemon Verbena. I like rubbing my hand along the leaves to pick up the scent. Adding some dried leaves in a card before mailing makes getting that piece of mail so much better.
6. Broccoli. It's bolting like mad and attracting so may bees and bumble bees too.
Garden Update:
