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:
All of the trees and berries (including blueberries) have received their 1st dose of fertilizer for 2013 followed by a long soaking.

Well,,,,I got the cabbage and the rosemary. I consider it a triumph
if I can remember the english name of things.....
If Latin turns you on, go ahead.
:) I knew some, but not all. Having the pictures helped, too!
I can't believe it's 83 degrees there! It's in the 40's here. Your plants look wonderful. I just want to snip that lilac and put it in a vase.
Latin words are cool..spelling them correctly was the hardest for me. When I took Horticulture classes we had to identify and then use the correct Latin name and spell it correctly to get a point. I used to know so many..you have to use it all the time or you lose many of them. Loved all your plants:)
