Tea Party

Here is little chamomile. The chamomile seedlings were so tiny at first! Now they're finally starting to look like something. My goal with chamomile is to have them bloom many yellow flowers so that I can make my own tea. However, only the yellow part of the daisy-like flower is used for tea, so one needs quite a few flowers to have tea on a regular basis. All four plants are still alive and kicking so we will see how that goes.

Meanwhile - my eggplant is definitely producing. Check out how big this one is getting:


Just watch out for those pointy little thorns - they do hurt! I have about three of these guys on my eggplant. If you peak in the end, you can see a beautiful purple veggie!

Oh my garden is so happy
Let's hope that this will last
Bad bugs are so sappy
and like to come en mass
As spring now fast approaches
Keep those bugs at bay
I do not want encroaches
Because I do not spray!
