Harvest

Our herb garden is going crazy.  I cut a huge bowl of basil and the plant still looks huge.  I am thinking of starting to sell this stuff because it grows so fast and plentiful. We have made pesto, we put it in salads, we use it in everything.  Still can't keep up.

After trimming.

This is the Thyme harvest. I am drying this batch to replenish our spice bottle.  We usually use this fresh on chicken, fish, steak and potatoes.

This was Thyme before harvest.

Our tomatoes, grown from seed, are coming up.  We planted half with dry packaged seeds and half from seeds out of our tomatoes we bought at the store. It took four days for the seeds to germinate on pop out of the soil. Things grow really fast on the island.
