Herb update

If you have the same idea of buying small potted herbs from the supermarket and growing them in your garden, let me show you which will do well in our tropical climate.

It has been 2 weeks since I planted 4 varieties. Of the four, the majoram is the fastest grower.

The french tarragon is doing well too, but it is a messy grower.

The sage is doing wonderfully. In Italy, they batter and deep fry the sage leaves as a snack. I could try this one day.

The sweet basil simply cannot survive in the weather. The tender purple leaves just melt away in the heat. Luckily I used some for my salad before they disappear.
