a perennial beauty

A pretty perennial. That’s all I know. It is flowering next to the fence line and so every now and then I pick a stem and place in a vase in the kitchen.

more tarragon

It’s fun (and occasionally frustrating) figuring out as a photographer and as a gardener how to work with light. Given the state of the yard in the new place I don’t expect an outdoor garden to come into being anytime soon but I’ve been hell-bent on creating a new lush indoor herb garden. Okay, doesn’t have to be lush … just healthy and useful.

I’m trying to experiment with a few new items especially edible flowers but for the most part it is the canonical basil, oregano, marjoram, tarragon, and rosemary. Last night I took a certain chef on a tour of the evolving herb garden. He asked what was he cooking for dinner and I said, “Hmmm. Chicken with herbs, garlic and lemon.” He harvested what he needed. As he walked away with a handful of green he turned back to say, “Do you think you can plant more tarragon? I love working with tarragon.” Not a problem.

I foresee a certain person fishing off this pier in the near future. We actually passed a man and his son who said they sometimes catch stripers.

I could do a 360 view of the kitchen, aka indoor garden, aka workspace for two adults, but then you’d see the overflowing recycling, the dirty dishes, and the double column list on the refrigerator of household chores to take care of … chores that despite staying at home we still haven’t completed. Yet somehow I manage to make it to the grocery store and each time return with more flowers. Hmmmm … priorities! 🙂
