Here in south central Nebraska- today I cut my parsley and tarragon to bring in to dry- I don’t know of any year I have had anything still growing the first part of December. We are supposed to have a whopper of a storm coming through tonight and tomorrow, so I decided now was the time.

The parsley had new growth and a lot of leaves from the linden tree in and amongst the plants- I noticed the tarragon had managed to do some blooming,

I did some last minute clean up today- had a bag of fertilizer that needed put in the garden shed. Brought in my spike ( don’t recall the name, but the fellow one puts in a planter arrangement to give some height-—It is still very happy but I trimmed it a bit when I picked it up. It had grown roots through the hole in the bottom of the container.

I have had it through two winters now- I will put it in a larger planter next spring and let it do its thing.

Aren't freshly grown and preserved herbs the greatest?? I still have some rosemary that is burned from frost on the top, but down deeper the plant is still green and lush.

You've given me the spark I needed to bring a plant inside. My rosemary is in a raised bed and it wouldn't be any trouble to pull it up and pot it for over-wintering in the house or on the back porch during nice days. Thanks!

Hope the storm hasn't caused you any trouble.
