Yesterday, I worked on my herb garden. This year, I added more butterfly-friendly herbs, like parsley and dill.
I planted three types of basil--sweet, purple, and spicy basil. Every year my basil gets leaf miners and the plants don’t last long; I hope this year will be different since I am using containers.
Other herbs in my garden are oregano, chives, thyme, and rosemary. The chives, oregano, and rosemary survived the heat of last-year's summer.
For the next month, while the plants are small, I’ll keep them covered. The September afternoon sun in Miami is a plant killer!

Good to keep them covered for a while. I keep most of my herbs under the screened lanai. For some reason it helps keep the leaf miners and the bugs away too. I planted veggies for the fall this year. They are doing well with all this heat.

I love to have herbs in the garden...not only are they wonderful to cook with....plus their beautiful fragrance....they are also medicinal....can we ask more?????
I admit I haven't visited in a while...been busy with school. I poked around today to try to fiigure out whay type of air plant or bromiliad you have in your main photo. Is there a post about it that I could read? It's absolutely gorgeous and I have to know what it is. Please don't tell me it;s one of those that's spread by the wind and can be found all over town.
