I took these pictures with my lap top because my camera doesn't work. So you may find the pictures are a little sideways. I was trying to fight the light of the morning sun and in doing so I took several pictures from the rail of my front porch looking down into the pots.
This is Tarragon and I swear within 1 day it grew! So easy...
We bought this Lime tree about three years ago and still it has not produced fruit. I don't know if it takes longer or it needs to be planted in the ground. But I'm not giving up yet!
Lemonbalm has a really pleasant smell. It contains citronella and can be used as a mosquito repellant by rubbing the leaves on your exposed skin. Lemonbalm is also used as a tea for insomnia or as a soothing relaxant. Take about a handful of leaves place them in a jar filled with water and put it in the sun. And there you have it, Sun Tea!
This is my favorite herb basil! I use basil in just about everything..
Dill is an easy to grow plant and grows well in partial shade.
Birds eye view!
Another shot of the basil.
Aloe Vera..wish I had several of these plants. These are well known for their theraputic properties. Especially in the case of burns. It is also good for indigestion and helps with a damaged immune system. I use Aloe Vera in my green smoothies.
