Chloe is up from her winter hibernation and is again enjoying her back yard.

Spring


The weather is finally changing and we are finally getting some warm days. The garden is growing quickly and the herbs have been growing well enough to start harvesting for drying. Chloe on the other hand simply enjoys trotting around the yard and basking in the sun.




The purple carrots are ready and are juicy and very sweet. I was able to harvest thyme, sage and rosemary, whilst the marjoram will be havested later next week for the Thanksgiving turkey stuffing.
