Summer Kitchen Garden

DSC06624 Trimmed plantains at the beginning of the summer.  I like their filtered light.  We have just two small clusters so far this year.

DSC06617 A lime growing on our key lime tree.  Last year we did not get any limes.  The tree has grown quite tall, so we will not be able to reach all of them from the ground.  They will become available starting in about six weeks, if all goes well.

DSC06628 Our garden, in which the herbs of the spring are going to seed.  Still I could get parsley, oregano, and some pictures.  This is along the lines of what I originally wanted, a kitchen herb garden.  Right now it is rather hot, and these kinds of things do not grow so well here.  I haven’t planted anything here.  Some things came up from self seeding last year, and  I expect some will re-seed themselves for next year: cilantro, marjoram, parsley, dill, even oregano, and maybe carrots and parsnips.   The sorrel leaves are not really usable, because now the “hungry, hungry” caterpillars can eat them.
