It rained all but 1 day last week {surprise, surprise} so most of our gardening was crammed into one day. 😉 The puggle princess and I did get a chance to plant a few things though. Onion bulbs, lettuce and round 1 of our sugar snap peas went into the soil. With the ground being so soggy I decided to plant the first batch of peas in a gutter. The gutter has drainage holes in the bottom and once the plants get about 3″ tall I’ll transplant them to the raised garden beds. This method has worked for me in years past so I thought I’d give it another try.
Lucy, she’s such a good helper.
It’s hard to see much of anything in the bed this early in the season but so far we have planted fava beans {about 2 1/2 weeks ago} yellow onion bulbs {about 50 of them} and 2 packets of lettuce mix.
Check out our oregano plant. Ain’t’ she a beauty? Do you have oregano in your garden? How’s it doing?
I’m travelling next week so I won’t get a chance to plant anything, but when I get back, carrots and radishes are next up.
Have a great week everyone,

I have a terra cotta pot of oregano (can’t remember what kind) and it comes back up year after year. Trouble is, I don’t really use it fresh, and I feel it is a waste. I use a lot of dried oregano, however, so it seems like I should dry my own, right? Here in humid MS, I have trouble getting things to dry out properly in the air, and I don’t have a dehydrator. Do you know a good way for drying? I also would like to preserve the thyme and rosemary……
Love your blog!
