I have many little green tomatoes emerging and I am very excited abou them in my first gardening season.
Erika, my cilantro bolted quickly as well but save the seeds so you can replant when it gets a little cooler. i am doing that with my cilantro and arugala.

how are tomatoes coming along?

It was crazy how fast it happened. So anyhow I am drying the corrieander (sp?) seeds and drying them right now. Then you can crush grind them for corriander poweder.
Sweet.
Is there a certain way to harvest herbs? I am a noob when it comes to herb gardens. Next year I will try veggies:)

But I am rocking the perinnial garden I must say!

Wanted to let you know I scored on some nice hostas at Home Depot for $3.33. They have all of their perinnials on sale for cheap! So if you commit to watering through out August (hot) it is a score for next year!
I also bought catmint, coral bells and some funky white flower- I forget what it is. Oh and their lillies are 4 for $10. I already have a ton!
here, here...just busy harvesting...looking into dehydrators so i can dry some tomatoes, fruit and herbs.

I did a major basil harvest (it was out of control), I am drying them on the stem for now and them will crush and jar it.

My oregano took awhile but now is growing like crazy.
got to love garden fresh tomatoes...we are picking about 6-8 lbs a day of tomatoes and giving them away. i am gonna start freezing and making sauces soon because my san marzanos are starting to ripen. we are eating BLT's almost every day wink.gif

cilantro like lettuces need to be grown when the weather is cooler. it bolts when the weather gets too warm. so you may need to try to grow them earlier in the season or plant in a less sunny area. i am making a special grow box of lettuce, arugala, cilantro and putting it is a shadier spot. also, i am gonna try to do a spring and fall planting of them.

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
