What's Growing In Your Garden?

I love gardening. In fact there is always something growing in my backyard and window sills. I am not a beginner since I have mastered growing lettuce, parsley, basil, and rosemary. I am fortunate enough to always be able to go into my backyard for some fresh herbs.

Unfortunately I still struggle with growing tomatoes, which is a hit or miss process for me. I have grown as many tomatoes as tomatoes plants I have killed. I have had a lot of success growing cilantro in the past until I change the location for the planting, which was a bad idea. Currently I am back to growing cilantro in a well drained pot in full sun and having much success. I also have collards growing well in the garden but from past experience these are a favorite of rabbits. My husband rabbit proofed the yard and so far so good.

In my window sill I am trying a new technique of growing thyme, mint, and chives in mason jars. I lightly water daily and so far the thyme is growing well after three weeks. Nothing so far with the chives but I am not giving up hope yet. The mint is sprouting so maybe by the 4th of July the hubby and I will be sipping mojitos in the backyard from our home grown mint.
