It's spring somewhere!

How is everyone's garden doing? Or, if you haven't started planting yet, what do you plan on growing in your garden?

Hello, I am new to DW and just found this group. It is cold and wet where I am and we are longing for spring.

I am planning to plant more day lilies, tomatoes an herbs. I have some new ground to break so I am planning someone things.

Welcome to DW! It's not wet where I am, but I'm cold. (Except when it's not cold, it's going to be hot so I'm out of luck either way).

Ooo! Those sound like great choices. What kind of herbs are you thinking about? I keep wanting to grow herbs, but I never know what to choose.

I like cilantro in the summer so I plant it in succession. Love basil and thyme. I

have a patch of mint that I let get tall so it looks like a shrub. I keep it in check by using it for mojitos. I love letting it get tall and flower as it attracts all types of pollinators,

Hee, mojitos are a great reason to have mint. I never thought of that.

I don't cook as much so I feel like I need to justify the herbs somehow, which means I should probably know what I'd make more of in order to use said herbs.

I need to figure out cilantro. It always bolts on me before I get much in the way of leaves. And give that I'm planting all the tomatoes this year, I need to make a lot of salsa.
